And another thing ...

I am fed up ... I was just thinking about my SHiNE friends ... you guys are all I got as far as friends go!

He does not like me to have "real life" friends ... I had one once ... he was always telling me what slut she was and that I do not need to hang out with people like that ... PEOPLE LIKE WHAT? SMART, goal oriented, fashion savvy and independent?!

Listen, I have spent the last 8 years ... YES, count the the years with me ... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 ...eight long years locked up in the house with my little boy ... I LOVE my son, my husband, my pretty little house. And I feel bad saying it out loud ... BUT I WANT MORE!

Mitch is at a spot where he can talk very well and now is the time to find a loving person to watch him while I go make some money and maybe have my career back.

I AM SICK OF HIM KEEPING ME LOCKED UP HERE! And all in the name of LOVE and responsibility to my special needs child!

The end!

    If you truly love your husband and your life, then do not, I repeat, DO NOT walk out. You will regret it. It does sound like a lack of communication and that he does not take your needs seriously. Get his attention and make him realize that the marriage depends on him supporting you. You sound tired and fed-up. A special needs child is a tremendous responsibility. All the more reason to try and preserve the family unit. Good luck to you.

    I also agree with Lin you two need to talk. If you guys really love each other and your family you need to work things out. Don't leave him you guys have been through a lot and need each other. You always sound like you have a great family life so just take a minute to talk things over tell him how you feel and that you love him and want to stay with him no matter what you career may be. If Mitch is doing well enough for someone to sit with him while you and your hubby are at work and you need time away to have somewhat of a social type of life again (which you deserve) then your hubby should understand. Maybe he's not so much affraid of you leaving or having a social life again, maybe he's affraid of someone else spending so much time with Mitch and is affraid that that person can't give him all the attention he needs. He she trust in you that you are making these decision to better your lives and help to keep everyone happy and sane (mostly you). If moma's not happy noones happy. You've heard that before haven't you? It's the truth too. Goodluck and don't give up you deserve to do something for you for once.

    I love the strength in your words, I feel you know what you want and you have goals, it is not good to let husband think for us, in no moment we became mindless the minute when sign the wedding papers, .. but .. please find a middle ground , you have done so much , so much during these 8 years , you have built up so many good things so if you want a carreer go for it but always have ur family first you are evrything, woman , friend, mom, nurse, wife and carreer woman
