[QUOTE="WSM, post: 266851, member: 5169"] Another thing: Two weeks ago difficult child started on Lexapro. husband has [B][U][SIZE=3][COLOR=blue]HUGE[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/B] expectations regarding this. He's sure this is going to help alot and fix difficult child's problems. He says he understands it won't fix all difficult child's problems, but anything is an improvement. Which is true, but emotionally, I can see husband is hoping this will fix most of it. I guess it sort of makes sense, because his exwife has a lot of trouble with psychosis and medication DID make her normal. That's his experience with medications. But Lexapro helps with anxiety, not with disordered thinking, not with attachment disorder, not with anger and hostility, not with lying. If it works, it will only reduce his anxiety and maybe relieve a little depression. It isn't going to resolve the attachment disorder, or the overwhelming desire difficult child has to be pitied, or his huge reservoir of anger and need to control. GHG has had no side effects from the Lexapro. And I think he's had no change in behavior at all. husband thinks he's friendlier. In fact, if difficult child is less anxious about consequences he might be less sneaky about his aggressive hostile acts like stealing and breaking things. But since he seldom has consequences now, I don't know if that's likely. All I know is I wish I were somewhere else this weekend. I hate these games soooooo much. [/QUOTE]
