How do you get thru the madness


Question Posted Tuesday October 31 2006, 12:57 am

I moved to Chicago and left my job to help take care of my mother because she was alone and ill. So far since we have moved here there has been nothing but bad luck. When we first moved here all of our things were flooded out. I have been searching for a new job and have not had any luck. My wife came across a temp job and she is going so far. I on the other hand am becoming more and more impatient. This is putting a strain on our marriage and our religion. I have become more and more irritated and starting to snap at my wife. I am tried of hearing people say good things happen to good people. I am trying to keep my mother happy but it is killing me inside and my faith. I could sure use some advice on how to keep my head up. The last thing would be pushing my wife away.

Losing hope in everything

Nothing ever stays the same, whether it is good times or bad. I can go on and on about good luck and bad luck, but what would be the point. You are going through a bad patch and it will definitely end, that much I do know.

Testing times are obviously at your door at the moment and, with all religions, we are told to have faith. I know that can be quite hard to do sometimes. Have you tried telling your wife how you are feeling? Be honest with her and lean on her for the moment. She may surprise you with her strength. There is no shame in allowing your wife to be the main earner for a while. Take some time to focus on what you want, what you need to do for your mother and finally, what you and your wife can achieve together.

If you attend somewhere for worship, why not have a chat about your faith with the your Padre, Vicar or leader. With their support also, you may find yourself being pointed in the right direction.

Hold your head up high, smile at everyone you meet and tell your wife how much she means to you. When you make other people happy, you will feel happiness returned to you. I wish you all the very best and good luck for a wonderful new future.
