Hello,
I am a Mom to an child with CF. I also have another child without cf. I am thinking about leaving my husband. I often think about the future and CF and what our son will face but I also don't think it is fair to me to stay in a marriage I am not happy in. Is that totally selfish of me? I am really torn up inside. I am so sad for my son with CF (and his brother) but I am also sad most of the time as a result of my marriage. I feel like I am "stuck" as a result of the CF. I should mention that the CF has of course caused great stress and sadness in both our lives but our little guy is a blessing and is so far doing great. I would like to hear from those with CF who were raised in a family affected by divorce and those who are raising a child with CF in this situation. Sometimes all of it is more than I can take and I am not even the one with CF (which makes me feel even MORE guilty about feeling this way...)
