Thanks for the pep talk....I think I just needed to write all that down and then let go of it. Liz, I knew I could count on a reply from you....I've read most of your posts and I know you've been down this road too. And Geri, I think I've said this before, how lucky to have a husband that's compliant! If we look up "bad patient" in the dictionary, Mike's picture is there! I'm really hoping that part of this is the combo of meds is wrong and we're working on that. Mike is generally a pretty laid back guy....stubborn when he gets to a particular mind set but over all, laid back, usually not totally irrational. In addition to all the reasons for this behavior that Liz mentioned, and I agree with those, it's not helping that his kids are apparently oblivious to the situation here. They either don't get it, or don't want to get it. Being in age from 30 to 38 you'd think they would wise up but that hasn't happened yet. Well, off to keep juggling..........
