My husband doesn't believe I am sick

My husband has told me so many times that "He didn't sign up for this" and if he ever gets sick he just wants me to leave him. To me that means that he wants to leave me. I really think he is only with me because of the kids. I stayed with my first husband and endured years of abuse for the kids. But I found out that I was hurting them more by staying in that situation. I would probably leave right now if I had somewhere to go. I can't go stay with my parents because my older brother had a stroke last November and he just came to live with them. I have realized that as long as he thinks I am going back to work full time then everything is ok.....but when I tell him there is no way I can work full time again he gets angry. Thats more proof that he either doesn't believe I am sick or doesn't care.
I have called my GP 2 times now and left messages for the nurse asking for refills this month and told them I would have insurance next month to come in and do labs. But they haven't returned my calls. So I will try again today.

Renee, I am so sorry that your husband is such an @$$. He said for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, so yeah HE DID 'sign on for this'. His attitude is appalling. I left an abusive relationship myself, one where it was not just physical abuse. I am sorry but what your current husband is doing is mental abuse. I have no clue if he even realizes it, but that is exactly what he is doing. He so would not want you to leave if he became ill. You also might point out that you can apply for disability if you are not working and get medicare eventually which would ease the burden of insuring you. The disability income might be more than you could make working part time. As for getting your medications, ask your doctor's office if they have a way for you to be seen but make small payments on the visit so you can get your meds refilled. Also, look for a low income clinic because they can often help with getting your meds for free and sometimes their doctors are better and more caring than a regular physician. I really wish I could give you a hug and use the pointy stick on your husband. He really deserves the pointy stick and worse.

I understand completely what you are going through. My husband and I have been married for 12 years and I was diagnosed with Lupus Erythematosus Dec of 2012. I was also diagnosed with a rare form of cerebal palsy that causes severe headaches to the point where I have to have emergency lumbar punctures the headaches are so severe they have now affected my central nervous system and caused me to be in a wheel chair, severe depression and panic attacks really bad. I have to stay stress free at all times. My husband is Mr. Perfect and he can do no wrong, at least that's what he thinks. I have 5 children which 4 are his and he finds the smallest things to pitch a fit about. And he is always on my oldest daughter case even when she is trying, she even has a job. I can be alseep and he will wake me up to fuss and nag about the smallest stuff knowing I can not be stressed. Lately he has been my main stress problem, but when he takes me to the doctor or out in public he puts on this fake i love my wife character and then when we get back home, he turns back. I'm to the point where I want to end my marriage and maybe my now constant flares will calm down, but I have no income and have been waiting on disability for almost 2 years now. When you find out how to solve your husband issues please let me know. Willing to try anything at this point.
