      dolphinsiah,


      I empathize with your situation.

      Your husband seems like a spoilt brat who is always blaming you for everything.

      From what I gather, your plan is to leave him when your girls are independent. But from now to then, it's still some way to go. And along the way, things became worse because he's now sick and \"beyond reproach\" when he throws his tantrums at you.

      From a Buddhist point of view, cancer is easily explained through the law of cause and effect, or karma.

      From a Christian's point of view, it's part of God's plan, although not many people can take it kindly to that.

      I don't know your situation enough, but honestly, I seriously think it's time to give him a real piece of your mind. Maybe that would be the best thing that will happen to him in the last 10 years. He really needs to see you don't owe him anything that allows him to take you for granted like that. Maybe that's God's plan for him.

      You need to be happier so that your girls would be happier too. Time to knock some sense into the big baby. :x

      Take care..

        dolphinsiah,

        You need to find real peace in you to handle this, if not it draining on
        you.

        Take care and find peace within yourself .you are a good person.

          Hi


          Religion only teaches us to be good and gives us the guidance on what to do and what not to do.

          It is our human failings that does not enable us to interpret the right things and to display the right manner.

          Even the top religion leaders have problems (eg Ming Yi saga, Roman Catholics priests, etc) not to talk about simple human beings like us struggling to make ends meet or struggling to understand the complexities in life.

          Most important is we are at peace with ourselves. You know what you ought to do and what not to do. Like the chinese saying goes,
          对的起天地良心

          Actually also going through a difficult time myself but I think I want to see my kids happy. When they are happy, I think everything else is worth it. (Of course had gone through lots of doubts and whatsoever before reaching this conclusion…)

          "For God so loved the world He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."

          I don’t think I can ever do that so I know that I will never be able to find a love greater than His but I will try to do the best that I can for the love of my life (which are my kids)

          Hope this helps.

            insider:
            This kind of psychological imprint is similar to those who are being abused during young times. They probably will tell themselves they will not hit their kids as bad as what their parents had hit them, but somehow they stand a higher chance of being abusers themselves when they grow up.

            This statement is very true to my childhood best friend. She confided in me years ago that she was in some way \"mentally tortured\" by her mother. If she is \"stupid\" in her studies or she fought with her sibling, her mum will dunk her head in a pail of waters or squating toilet bowl. In her school days, I used to see alot of cane bloody marks on her hands and legs. This affected her quite alot as she used to be teased in school.

            Now as a mother herself, although she constantly told herself that she won't does that to her own daughter. However subconsciously, she will inflict the same pain to her child as what her own mother did to her.

            As a friend, I saw this and advise her to see a councellor. It is really painful for her. Yes, it is really quite pityful to repeated event. Till todate, she is still struggling and overcoming this hurdle.

              hi Dohphin


              I must say I have to take my hat off to you. Basically, I think majority of men are selfish creatures. Do what you think is right for your situation as long as you put yourself & your kids priority first. Take good care of yourself. I always tell myself that if they don’t deserve it, then we shld just stop giving. No point making ourselves miserable when they are such
              ingrates.

                Hi Dolphin,


                Life is short, enjoy & treasure today.

                If you think you will feel better after leaving your hubby, do so, dont thinks so much.

                You dont have to give explanation to anyone else, cos you r the one doing it not the others.

                You mentioned, you hubby is rich, what he has is his, well, so dont worry for he, he can take care of himself, who knows, he might appreciate your presence one day.

                Be fair to yourself, simple, just follow the direction u want, u will have no regrets.

                        Tracy, reading your situation...reminds of myself...how spouse treated me when he was around... :skeptical:

                        Maybe both of our spouse found us ....too independent.... :scratchhead:
                        Unlike some women...who let their husbands make most of the decision....
                        Men like to protect helpless women.... :imanangel:
                        Too bad ....I cannot behave like a 'xiao niu ren'.... :roll:
                        When he was around ...he always think he is still a young man...
                        Golfing...always dressed in Branded clothes....
                        Me like \"Xiao Chao Mo\"(crazy woman) :frustrated: ...rushing here and there....for the kids and work.... 😓

                        When he became ill....I stand by him through out his treatments....
                        Now he has RIP....I still like a crazy woman... :frustrated:
                        now I have more roles to fulfill ....
                        Cause kids still young.... :grphug:
                        But no choice ....I think my life is destinate not to have a Knight to look after me.... :stupid:

                        Grew up without a Dad ...now without a spouse to grow old with.... :scared:

                        But I have no choice....I am now my kids Protector...I cannot collapse... :razz:

                        So Tracy...for the sake of our kids ...we must be Strong..... :ugogirl:
