It sounds like you are a real trooper, though, and I think it&#39;s great you&#39;re blogging about your experience.<br /><br />I came across this post because I was searching on &quot;leukemia&quot; and &quot;marriage.&quot; My husband&#39;s mother was diagnosed in June &#39;09 and recently had a stem cell transplant. We heard the diagnosis the evening of the same day my husband lost his job (or rather, got himself fired). Since then, he&#39;s been so focused on his mother&#39;s illness I feel he&#39;s neglected our marriage. I am trying to be supportive but it&#39;s hard to do everything while he &quot;de-stresses&quot; by playing video games and drinking with his brother. If I expect any attention to our marriage, I am perceived as selfish and uncaring.<br /><br />Anyway, your post made me feel a bit more validated about my own feelings of abandonment during this time. It&#39;s true that you have to put the effort into a marriage, even when you are facing difficult times. <br /><br />I wish you and your wife the best of luck. You are lucky to have each other, and I love the basic rules you follow. Stay strong together!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
