[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP. This sounds very hard and I know how hard it is when you are on a different page than your partner. I would highly highly recommend telling your husband it is nonnegotiable for you for you all to have couples therapy. If he refuses, then like others have said get individual counseling for yourself. It is absolutely untenable to not share your children's diagnoses and maintain a full life in your community and with your friends. If you have friends close enough to go on weekend trips with, they will understand. My close friends have been so so understanding and loving to my son. They help pick me up when I worry about how he will maintain friendships, or a billion other things i worry about. They remind me that he is kind, and worthy and loved when I need to hear that. Your friends and community will actually understand LESS if you keep it from them. Then they are just worried on the side and concerned you aren't doing anything to address very obvious issues.

I realize telling you over and over again to share isn't helpful because it sounds like the true issue is with your husband's approach to this. And that is going to take time. I'm very sorry.[/quote]
