Happy holidays to you and your awesome family. Take care.
What ladyscribbler said. Your husband loves you and wants to see you well. I totally get how you feel because I am the one who's usually the caretaker. Sometimes we just have to sit back and let others take care of us. You are NOT a fraud. This could be a huge learning and growing experience for both of you. As a father it is his responsibility to take care of his children too. Everything does not have to rest on your shoulders. In fact, it shouldn't. I don't think this is about codependence. It's about love, compassion, and working as a team. Isn't that what a healthy marriage is supposed to be about?
Praying for your quick recovery,
