[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 239928, member: 3444"] I guess I slept o.k. Stayed up too late watching TV, but it's so rare that I actually get to have the remote and decide what to watch, I was taking advantage (too much)! For some odd reason I woke at 4:30. Went back to sleep but then easy child tip-toed in at 6:45 for some reason and was already dressed for school (very odd). Turns out she got up before sunrise! Then she said she went out to watch the sun come up. (?) I talked to husband. His test went well. They woke him at 1:30 and put the CPAP mask on. He said he feels a bit better rested today than he has lately (he SOUNDED very chipper, anyway). We'll get the results soon. Later this morning I got an email apology from him for the nasty mood swing yesterday (I'd pointed it out in a "goodnight" email I sent last night). I'm hoping that if I continue to point out these episodes his lightbulb will go on and he'll address it with his psychiatrist. I also called the psychiatrist yesterday and left a vm about what I'm seeing in husband. For the first 17 years of our marriage I sucked up the hurt his mood swings and other symptoms caused, thinking it must be my fault. But two years ago I hit bottom realized that it wasn't about me at all. It took a lot of counseling and group therapy (and medication) and I finally am to the point where I am firm in my own reality and truth and will gladly stand up to "the emperor's lack of clothing" so to speak. His issues are HIS. He has a problem, most likely fixable, and I'll continue to do what I can to steer him towards the help I think he needs while being good to myself and taking care of what I need. As long as he continues to cooperate and TRY, then I think we'll make it in the long run. [/QUOTE]
