Dear Queenie,
One of my children has a lot of problems and my husband is away on his job a lot of the time so he cannot help me with her. I have asked him to try to be home more of the time, but his job won’t let it happen and he says he can’t find another job that would let him be more at home and still pay as well as this one.
We don’t have family here and we don’t have a lot of friends because of our child’s problems and I know we need my husband’s income, but we also need him here at home.
Queenie, what can I do?—Stressed-out wife
Dear Wife,
Is it possible for you to move closer to your family? If not, perhaps there is a support group in your community that could help. Your doctor and/or your daughter’s doctor probably could help you find the help you both need.
