Looking after children = no sex!

Hello to everyone.

I am new to this forum, so greeting to you all!

I thought I would like to throw my circumstances out there and see what other folk think.
I have been married for 13 years now. My wife and I have a daughter who is 8 years old, but was born with severe disabilities. She requires 24 hour care and has all sorts of related problems.
Looking after her is very demanding and time consuming, and also exhausting both physically and emotionally.

As a result my wife and I live two separate lives: she is looking afer the little one whilst I work.

Over the last 8 years our sex life has dwindled to virtually nil. I think my wife is naturally low drive anyway, but is constantly tired (our daughter has CCTV in her bedroom so my wife can see if she wakes in the night or needs anything) which is her reason for not wanting sex. I can understand this to a point but I get very frustrated so I try to shut off my needs.

I can't see there will ever be a time when this will improve.

Being a primary carer is a major libido crusher!
