In reply to I finally called my pdoc + T. big **triggers**, posted by LlurpsieNoodle on July 26, 2007, at 11:11:36
I'm so sorry, Llurpsie. My mother (I think - I've blanked out the face in my memory) did a similar thing to me when I was a teen, and I still remember it, and it still influences me today.
I can understand if he can't handle it, my husband can't either and I keep it from him and never rely on him to help me, but I don't understand his doing something so destructive. All I can think of is that sometimes that approach is shown on TV as a good thing (there was a MASH episode like that) and he might have internalized that message.
He loves you and he's scared and it's coming out as anger, I would guess. I'm not excusing him. There is no excuse really. And he really should be willing to talk to someone to find out how to be helpful or at least not make things worse. :(
I'm glad you called your therapist and pdoc though. I hope they can help. In fact, I'm sure they can. Medication changes can be very destabilizing, but once you get past that the worst feelings will go away.
