I learned the hard way that if it's empathy I want, I'd better get it from anyone else on earth other than my AH. My expectations of him being there for me are absolutely nil. The way I see it, if someone is willing to drink themselves into oblivion, walk around unbathed, staggering into stuff and getting all cut up and bruised ... heck, why should I expect any decent treatment? My AH doesn't even take care of himself, so it would be a stretch for me to expect him to give me any care.

I hope you are feeling better. Please let us know if your condition is improving. Praying for your recovery SOON.
