So sorry to hear this @Gwynn {{{HUGS}}}Sadly we had a terrible, horrible day yesterday.
My wife 'discovered' a slightly damaged plastic bottle of shoe polish at the back of the sink cupboard. She immediately went overboard in her paranoia, 'knowing' someone had been in the house trying to harm her, and her fear and anger exploded at me eventually resulting in a lot of shouting at me because I refuse to give in to her illness and demands for cameras, security systems, house exorcisms, locking all inside doors all the time, etc. Finally she demanded a divorce, which kind of upset me but I held on to my normal posture of trying to create calm. But I was firm and determined not to give any quarter to her illness (as with many with her illness, she does not believe that she is ill, even with her ongoing treatments and having been sectioned)
After a few hours on her own she did calm down. Unfortunately I was quite badly shaken by it all. All starting from something utterly trivial, as always.
This is the first time she has demanded a divorce though, not a good outcome. She did relent later on, but it is stuck in my mind. And I have zero support from anywhere.
Anyway, incredibly my blood glucose levels have not been adversely afftected. 5.5 yesterday evening and 5.1 this morning.
My weight has dropped significantly though because I just couldn't eat after the dreadful events of yesterday. I weigh 59.0 Kg this morning. Target was 60.0 Kg. So a tiny bit of catching up to do today, assuming my wifes battle does not continue.
I am not looking forward to today. I think I may just go out on the beach for the day just to get a bit of peace.
Sad, so sad.
5.1 good, so good.
