[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 587953, member: 13882"] SuZir, When I read this post, first of all, I sympathize with how scary it must be for you these days. I would panic, but you are holding it together very well. The other thing I realize is how strong difficult child is. That may sound weird, but he has to cope with so much stress, which is probably helping to bring on some of these symptoms, but he is managing and coping fairly well. If I were him, I'd be a wreck. He's got more resolve than one would imagine. I applaud him for it. As you may know, I have one sibling, a brother, who is schizoaffective, and he hears voices all the time, and sometimes has visual hallucinations. He is very calm about it - he is 61 y/o now, and this has been part of his life since he's about 19. When he tells me about it, I recoil in horror, but he just copes and does pretty well. He is medication compliant, but the medications don't always help with the voices, etc. He hesitates telling me about the voices, because my reaction is typical, so he bears it quietly and with great grace, I think. It must be very lonely to have to cope with that stress. I know difficult child's situation is not like my brother's, but it is a lonely road to walk down sometimes, and I sympathize. Under the circumstances, and in light of recent events, I think difficult child has coped admirably. Your support must mean the world to difficult child. If husband can come to understand and digest some of what difficult child has to bear with, he may find a little more patience with him. I know it's hard for everybody. [/QUOTE]
