OurPath (formerly SSN) Open Forum / To all the MOM-spouses out there

**Posted by Ellexoh_nz** December 25, 2017 9:59 pm

Since this board was created....it's had few contributions but I feel there are MOM-spouses out there
who ...while not commenting...are still reading..so I'd just like to say

May your holidays bring you the inner peace, strength and happiness we ALL deserve.

I'm trying to cut down on visits and time spent on Web fora. But I'm still hanging around. And perhaps, just perhaps, at long, long last, starting to sense some peace. It's paradoxical, like so much of MOM life. We took season passes for some 20 ski resorts in the area (we live in Switzerland), and were planning to seriously enjoy the freedom of retirees, able to go skiing mid-week, when the crowds are thinner. A week ago today, last Thursday, a lovely sunny day, masses of fresh snow... and my wife slipped on a patch of ice in the car-park of a ski-lift, as we arrived, and dislocated her shoulder and broke her arm. So her season is over, I've lost my partner, and I'm now chief cook, head nurse and maid... not at all what we had in mind.

You are correct! Every once in awhile I lurk but I rarely contribute anymore.
Happy Holidays!

Since the forum division here...me too I feel as if I 'fit'on this board only, and that's okay by me.
Omg..broken bones at 70 ish can't be fun! You must feel a certain irony in the fact you're wife is now reliant on you to do even more for her.

I am still in that damn holding pattern!

We...are still in that holding pattern

Welcome S&C Your husband is trans? There are many members with partners of the same 'leaning'
(for want of a better word) who would have better advice/info than I do. Because this section of the site
is for those working on their r'ship.....not many post here because their r'ship has ended/is ending, so
you may get more help initially from the Support section where you have many more views & opinions.

This is a harsh, unwanted reality we find ourselves in. Read heaps, and start dialogue (via the threads).
We're all good people...and all continue to learn about ourselves by communicating through SSN

## There is also a section titled Our Stories, where you can tell your story....as an intro to your situation,
though this section is just for individual stories, no comments can be added
