Angie, My hubby is not yet meds. But agrees he needs something, when not in a depressed/manic state. He is waiting on an insurance change with his company, should be in a matter of weeks. I hope. Sooooo many nights I have been up late listening to him. I think I've heard others refer to it as the 'sick lecture'. What works for him now is my repeating that he needs help, eventually he does come around and agrees. I try not to react and remind him, gently, that it's all 'apart of it'. And that I love him and want to be with him and remind him of his promise to me that he made that he will do whatever it takes. It usually ends good. My fear that it will not work quickly enough for him, in his mind. But I will remain postive and am now compiling plan B. That is why I need to stay positive. He feeds off my emotions. He feels tramendous guilt of what he put be through; and I don't think he knows the half of it. That would kill him. So I can't let on. My positive note - I did not repond sooner because my kids took the laptop (my lifeline right now) and searched for ecards to send to their grandpa for his birthday. They found one. But in the mean time found some silly cat and dog ones, not really appropriate to send to grandpa, but will have to send to their uncle's 1/2 birthday (he's only 21 and has a great sense of humor); can't take the chance they will still be avaliable in December. It was a great laugh! I feel so postive and hopeful for the future. Sometimes I feel akward expressing it on the bipolar family support forum because so many people are going through much worse then I am. I saw your picture, my son takes TKD and loves it. I am so proud of him. So proud of all my kids! They are great! Holler back! Susan
