i'll so out on a limb because my gut tells me that you are truly looking for help.
My husbands injury is nowhere near as severe as your spouses however, i am the primary bread winner in our home, housekeeper, kid keeper, kid taxi driver, shit cleaner upper, grass mower, wound care professional, catheter expert, wheelchair mechanic, full time cook, urine tinged laundry cleaner, nad work full time outside of the home. AND YES, IT DOES SUCK.....sometimes. I love my husband very much but i'd be lying if i didnt sometimes envy my friends who's husbands can provide more. but, i believe there is something special to be grateful for in all relationships. This is the life I choose to live, but i'm only human. No other spouse or caregiver can say that they dont feel the same from time to time. If they did, they'd be lying. SCI in general sucks, but like they say, take the good with the bad. In my situation, the good outweighs the bad. Good Luck to you.

ASHLEYTHOMPSON and HILLARYCARTER is one of the LIVING PROOF.There's a place of happiness in their heart even they're facing their everyday life like this "SCI SUCKS" Because they're serving their husband with love.As ASHLEY said....."the good outweighs the bad."

Hi Kristi....I think youve kind of answered your own question....

I think that once you get yourself back, you will remember how to be a wife again.
I also am chief slave in my household, and I lost myself when I was in my last relationship. My guy now (my sci guy)was the one who gave me the courage and strength to leave a bad relationship, and he helped me to find myself again by letting me be me. And since I did, I am able to love again, as you cant truly give until you are happy within yourself.

I know that sounds awfully mushy but its true.
