I hope he continues to be a little more human Jen! It must be difficult for you, however I am glad you are doing some things for yourself now.

Very good that he is Jen.... remember, it is up to you whether you enable his behaviour or not. Whether he likes it or not, he will more often change if you force him too in more indirect behaviours, ie. not enable his behaviour or allow him to hold you back from life. He will either feel left out, left behind or come to the party and begin helping himself. Amazing what love can do Jen..... even when it is at the lessen end of the scale.

I went with him to the docs yesterday and spent some time with the doc before Hubby came in. I told the doc about a few home truths that I am sure Hubby wouldnt talk to him about.
When hubby came in the Doc had a talk to him in his own funny way ( you know the Doc I am talking about Anthony)
He is a GP but I would rather him than a Pysch any day.
He has changed hubbys antidepressants for a month thats when he goes back to the Pysch.

I hope the change in antidepressants helps Jen. I have never been a huge fan of medication however the correct medication and dosage does seem to do wonders for some! Fingers crossed for you and hubby.

I guess if the tablets/meds work enough for hubby to have a change in attitude, and then perhaps he decides to make some changes, well it was then all for good...... Lets hope the tablets help!

Thanks Jim things are a little better between us this weekend. No change on his part at the moment I am trying to be patient but we are talking about things?

I hear you about the rattling Jen, my hubby is the same!

Just remember it takes a while for them to kick in so just keep an eye out for side effects.

Hope your health is improving & you are getting closer to playing on that golf course
