My husband was hurt in an a military trainning accident in 1994. I have taken care of him for all these year. He had horrible pain due to a severe back injury.
A month ago he had a pain pump put in. Since then he has improved - a lot. Meanwhile, I have progressively gotten worse. Now he is trying to take care of me.
To say that I am a control freak is an understatement. I especially hate help in the kitchen or with housework. I also don't want to give up my independence of driving. I am really struggling with this. Any advice?
Right now he is at the store picking up milk and something for dinner (he doesn't cook at all). In 20 years of marriage he has never gone to the store for groceries. I am thankful for his help, but I am having a hard time letting go of my role as caregiver.
Ideas on how to make this transition smoothly?
