How's things? just read one of your last posts. Sounds like you are gaining some streangth. can I borrow some?
my wife is now severly depressed, she just started a new med (Lamictal)
but at this point she and her Dr. think she need to be alone to deal with herself and what's happened. That means as of today the kids are living with me. It's a good thing for the kids, because she really isn't to good with them right at the moment, she is either crying or yelling at them. It's just hard because I work two jobs and I just wish the kids didn't have to lose their mother. At this point though it is probably best, because she says she isn't doing them any good. One thing though, at least she is rational, and fully recognizes she has a big problem, I think that takes courage on her part. She also is very upset because she feel like she is abandoning us. I told her to focus on her self right now, and I would make sure the kids are safe and happy. This is all aweful timing (not that it's on purpose by her) but my father is failing, so I will have that to deal with in the next for days. It feel aweful to not be able to have a loved one to support me through this. I have to be strong for my wife, and kind hide my pain for my father while around her. she is in such a depression that I can't put any kind of pressure on her with my feelings. I must say, this year sucks so far!
it was good to see you post, hope you haven't lost that sense of humor
go Pat's!

just read my own post. How's my spelling looking? before anyone comments I already know I need spell sheck

Distroyed, How are you doing? Well the strength comes and goes. It appears that my wife also is falling into some serious depression. She didn't go to our kids "back to school ice cream social" and didn't go to our oldest daughters "parents back to school night" She's deffinatly withdrawing. As much as I dislike her behavior I still feel really sorry for her. I think she's beginning to see that she really fu@#$& up. I worry about the kids. I'm trying to keep up my sense of humor and keep moving forward. I hope things get better with you two. My wife's on Lamictal too and I think it's helping a little but not sure. It may take a while for it to kick in with your wife. Take care...Oz:)

Distroyed & OZ, My husband was prescribed Lamictal,too! BUT, of course, he has NOT started it as of yet and told me the other day he doesn't plan on taking it!!! :mad: Why in the world would he ever want to do that?????? Man, he's just so much into denial! I'm so sick of it!!!! Anyway, I just wanted to tell you about that! Kym.

Kymberlee, It's so frustrating when the help they need is right in front of them yet they choose not to take it. I just want to get off this rollercoaster. Kym.... I'm pulling for you and distroyed. Thank you for your support. You'll always have mine..Oz :)

Thanks, OZ! Yes, I'm with you! I'm so tired of this rollercoster!!! Kym. (((HUGS))) Thanks for your support.
