Hi Kelh
I too felt like you. I attempted suicide in Jan 2009. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
It took a while to realise that I was being selfish. I had created my own "little" mess, which I was too afraid to face. I was going to do the "honourable" thing. The problem is that I would have left the mess I had created, and my family would have had to sort it out. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
There are other means of support available to you. Free online & telephone counselling is available to you in the UK. (GA does not have this service.)
Talk to your husband...he is going to find out anyway, so it will be better if he hears it from you first.
Remove your access to money. Have your husband give you a daily allowance only.
We have all been down the path you are now travelling. Some have a harder road than others.
Try and keep it as simple as possible. Don't pressure yourself.
THE SERENITY PRAYER
" God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference."
Best Wishes
Roy
