RE: your hubby, sometimes I dunno... I face the same struggle with my mother-in-law: she *figures* my bipolar daughter
would be fine if I only made her behave. You can try education up to a point but then it becomes unremunerative.
My suggestion to you is to find some sort of women's group -- either group therapy or just ad hoc for self-help in dealing
with psychiatric issues. I haven't read your earlier post but you can probably find a support group in your area for nearly
any diagnosis you care to name. Start with NAMI or do a google search on your diagnosis and go from there.You WILL find the right med, combo, and/or dosages. It's horrible to be in limbo like this but you will prevail.
Get yourself some support and hang in there.
