Painkillers and chronic pain
And then came our second child. This time it was a son as my husband had hoped for. But the child was sick right from the beginning and now everything was even much harder for me than with our daughter.
I felt bad and I suspected that all those ailments of our son were the consequences of my drug abuse. So now I thought my son had become a victim of my chronic pain.
I finally thought about quitting my job. But then I would be all alone at home in the daytime, with lots of homework, two challenging children and chronic pain. I was afraid of that. Also there were the monthly payments to be made for a house and two cars.
My husband did not make a lot of money, and even if we had sold one car, it would have been very difficult to make ends meet and it would have meant disaster if my husband had lost his job. So I worked on.
