Questions

My husband is getting very lazy and feeling sorry for himself. I am trying to motivate him to get up and work the soreness out so he can start to heal but he is thinking that the world owes him a favor. I am trying to push him and he keeps jumping on me to the point I don’t know how much more I can take. He is relying on pain meds and staying in the bed instead of walking. The doctors are trying to get him up and make him walk but he just won’t do it. The surgery was a success but he has given up and I don’t really know what to do. We have two little kids who are missing their daddy and he is not even trying. I have to leave the hospital tomorrow because I have school and my children are crying wanting me. I don’t know what else to do. His mom and brother will be here with him but they will not push him. They just baby him and let him lay in the bed. I have tolerated all of the verbal abuse from him during all of this telling myself that he was just scared. I don’t know how much more I can take. I am an emotional wreck. He will not even let me express how I feel. He tells me that I am being selfish. I could really use some advice.
