Hi Superd,
I have been reading your posts and it seems as if you do not know what to do anymore...i hear ya....yet you are trying so hard i see...it seems you are doing anything you can to help your situation and have things under better control but its not happening. Remember, you can be there for your spouse, but you cannot solve her problems....she has to do that on her own...thats what i learned. Is there decent communication between you two? is there any kind of understanding? Im sure people with PTSD do what your spouse is doing (lucky for me, i dont have that problem...for now at least) not sure if they are unable to control it (do things without thinking about the consequence) but i guess i would ask my spouse not to drink so much...specially with the meds...i just dont like the idea...for example, last night we went to dinner and he had a few beers but i was watching him the whole time to make sure he didnt over do it..which he did not so everything was ok... if i would have seen him drink more and more..i would have asked him to please stop. yes, sometimes i feel like i have to babysit him but i dont mind because i know he is going through alot and he does not always notice the things he does....should get better with time but for now thats how it is...
Jen,
9 different meds?!! what the heck for??? that would actually scare me...my husband only has 2-3...which im ok with...but does it get worse? will he need more meds with time???? i dont get it! |
