 I'm losing my mind with all the drama. My wife just accused me of ruining every holiday. Tonight she had a birthday party for my daughter and asked me not to come because it would upset her family whom she has demonized me to. They think I'm a horrible person and she says she hates me, but is fine living with me like that. She's driving me nuts. I just wanted to go to my daughters b day party and she made me feel as if my being there would ruin it for her. In truth her family and their ugly dramatizations would have ruined it but they can't see reality so I had no choice but to stay home for her sake. It's really bugging me.

 Itf, Gloria is absolutely right! Do something special with your daughter. My son loves special alone time with me. Get a little cake and candles for the two of you, or invite others, if you want. I bet she'd love to spend an "extra" b-day party with you!

Hugs,

Terri

 Itf: Wanna hear a good one? Before my husband was medicated, IT WAS HIM WHO RUINED THE HOLIDAYS FOR US!!!! It's amazing how much his attitude changed from Thanksgiving to Christmas after he was medicated. Christmas was always the biggie; I had never met anyone who hated holidays before I met him. After the meds, now he is fine... I think the holidays get to them because of increased stress and expectations. And alcohol. Just wanted to let you know that.

 Don't let your wife drive a wedge between you and your kids. Do what you need to do to maintain positive relationships with them.

Sounds like your wife is "projecting" -- accusing you of the things that SHE does. I saw a lot of this type of behavior in my husband. It's a way of avoiding taking responsibility.

 It's funny. I know all these things and yet her words still keep me awake at night. My daughter woke me up before her mom this morning to ask me all kinds of questions. I tell her what I can, but she is very confused. Her mother says one thing and I say the opposite. As soon as her mom woke up she put her head down and pretended she had been sleeping. She is scared of her and I just want to take her away from here. I can't go anywhere without her mother calling me and the police and making a drama out of it. I tried to get an appointment to see her doctor and They tell me I need to wait until May. If I call her or write she has to tell my wife everything by law and it makes things worse. God HELP ME!

 She IS the one who ruins every holiday and every day I'm off.

 Have you tried any type of couples counseling? Do you think it would help? Would she agree to go?
