[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for the kindness. It was a massive gut check that I wasn't crazy.

We are in the DC area. I am going to reach out to my wife's school because they have been great in terms of helping me through the morass of leave, disability, etc. I didn't think of reaching out to her school because we've only been here a year (we moved from the west coast last summer, ironically to be closer to her family/take advantage of DC job opportunities for me). My sister has been amazing in terms of keeping things normal and trying to hold some semblance that everything will be fine. My job's been great as well. We are lucky and I know it. I know how close things were. I know how privileged we are to have white collar jobs and to have jobs where we are respected enough and treated well in times like this. I just needed a gut check that I wasn't nuts that this isn't normal.

My wife had a stroke and I didn't want to go into it but it was horrible. She will recovery (we all hope) but it will be a long road and I think my in laws sort of latch onto the "she will be fine" and sort of tune out everything else.

Thank you everyone.[/quote]
