[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 176289, member: 45"] Sorry Janet! Funny thing is when I signed on this morning and opened this thread, before I saw your reply, I skimmed down and for some reason it popped out at me and I changed it, but too late! I was thinking you the whole time, and your posts are so helpful. Thanks for the insight. I think the big question for me is whether he'll go to therapy and stick with it. And you know what, I may just believe some of the things you have done :winking:. Thanks amaze - hugs in real life make me nervous but cyberhugs, especially burnt ones, are very comforting. :peaceful: gcvmom - I'm glad your husband has made such a change. I guess that's what I've always been hopeful for with husband - that he would change in the way yours has (but without the brain surgery if at all possible! :surprised1:). I was counting on a miracle, that one day he would realize what he's doing and go get help. The only way I could get him to try a medication was forcing him to go to marriage counseling. She convinced him to go to a psychiatrist for adhd, knowing all along that it was more but that he wouldn't accept it from her.
