Thank you for letting me know that I am not the only one out there who is having the same issues. For so long I thought that my husband's problem was alcohol. He has been sober for 2 and a half years and was still having the same problems. We have been to see several councelors and they thought that he was suffering from "dry" alcoholism!
In the begining of Feb. I forced him to go to the emergency room with me because he was off the deep end. This is were our lives changed for the better-they thought that he was bi-polar and put him on his first meds. Now they have changed his meds and he is having a tough time.
I am going to stay by his side because you are right he did not ask for this. Sometimes it is extremely difficult but I am still here and hoping for the best.
