Trouble in Paradise

I never took the time to think about what the death of a child would do to a relationship. I guess I just thought that it would go back to how it was. Or maybe I thought it would get better. Instead it has completely nosedived into Hell. Things were good before Kamryn was born ( or maybe I just chose to ignore them because I was so excited about being pregnant). After her death things started getting on my nerves. Things that he's done for forever. Some days are absolutely wonderful and I couldn't ask for better. Most days it's absolute hell. Friends tell me that I shouldn't worry about it because he doesn't beat me or cheat on me. I think it's almost as bad. His mother has always done everything for him, and his dad and uncle tell him that it's a woman's job to serve her man. I say that it's a mans job to support his family and that their son/nephew should get a better job so his "woman" can stay at home and do things there instead of her working two jobs. This shuts them up for awhile but then they're back at it. J doesn't say that it's how things should be but thats how he acts. I have had enough. I don't know what else to do. I can't handle that on top of missing Kamryn so much and dealing with everything else. All on my own. Am I the only one that things are going even more downhill for? I guess what they say is true: when it rains it pours. Pittsburgh isn't sounding so bad right now.

dearest casey,
you are not going insane, things are very different after the birth/death of an infant. just know its normal, be sure to communicate to each other, let each other know its nobodys fault and if need be counceling could help, if he will not go maybe you could go by yourself.
I hope you had a good holiday.
your baby girl celbrated with christ himself.
you may not remember who I am , yet I met you at michele's house.
she really thinks the world of your and I was so impressed at how good you are with Miss emmy.
I will continue to pray for you and your husband. every marriage has days of bliss and days of pure hell. sometimes it seems as the days of pure hell will not end.
marriage is a partnership of 100% and 100% .
you can e mail me back at shortstop_@yahoo.com if you like.
my prayers and thoughts will continue to be with you.
