[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 535070, member: 11832"] RE, I agree with Janet. Your whole post is powerful. I wanted to comment on one small thought. My husband exactly. As he descended into madness, what little ability he had to cope evaporated. Absolutely everything irritated him intensely. One reason I kept taking the kids other places was to give him the quiet he needed to regroup. LDM, your easy child was instrumental in helping husband and I keep our marriage together longer. How wonderful that she wants to be a Special Education teacher; she'll be great. Star, that was my goal in writing. To help people feel less alone in living with mental illness. I think the boat is larger than we believe, and I don't want it to be the Titanic. I think it's important to mention that I wasn't a rock throughout this whole experience. I broke down over and over, but I kept regrouping for myself and my children. I remember that I had to go to the bagel store the morning after husband's first psychotic episode when he told me I was "evil." I was standing in line and thinking about my husband psychologically dying and by the time the poor bagel guy got to me I had tears streaming down my face. I could barely choke out my order through the tears. Bagel guy handed me the bag and said ethusiastically, "You have a wonderful day!" [/QUOTE]
