Its so tragic when relationships fail and there are children involved.
But some relationships simply cannot withstand the extra demand it places on it.
I think we would all agree it can be hard at times to balance the relationship side of things when we have been up all night and had all day appointments and illnesses and by the end of the day were nodding off.
It can be hard to make that time for each other.

WHAT LIFE??!!

Know that feeling lou............

i think when there is 2 parents in the family with additional needs then they both have to get a level where they have there own space in order to cope.
