Ooops... Sorry, but I accidentally filed the other post before I was finished!!
Anyway, I was talking about the "walking on eggshell" syndrome. This is truly no way to go through your day. You begin experiencing chills every time your spouse walks into the room. Instead, be yourself, do what you know to be right, and if an episode begins, start experimenting with ways to quell it as soon as possible. I've mentioned in another post where Kim and I have found that during an outbreak, one of the best things (if not the hardest) for me to do is to get in nice and close, and give her the biggest hug I can muster. When she tries to push away, I just hold on tighter, and soon she is moved from the destructive part of the episode into the remorseful part.
I hope you read something on these posts that will help you and your husband. No one deserves to go through life experiencing these outburst, from either side of it!
Just remember, you are not alone! 'Til next time, Warren |
