[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 342438, member: 3184"] TM, I think you are kinda right. I am very invested in husband's stability, without it our family is no longer a family. Is he just as invested as I am? I think so, but it shows in different ways. He takes his medications, I do not and cannot force him. When I say I give him his pills in the morning I try to wake him and hand them to him, the Tegretol and Neurontin at night are so sedating that he has to have the adderrall first thing or he will be foggy all day, and who knows when he will wake up. husband does make the choice to go to his psychiatrist appts, I don't drag him. Am I overly invested in his stability? yeah, probably. But the alternative seems bad. I do love him and want our family to stay together. My parents divorced when I was in 5th grade, and my brother was in 3rd. My brother never really recovered from it, and had a heck of a time and did not graduate high school. I do not want that for my kids. There is a line in Lilo and Stitch where Stitch is talking to some alien guy and describes Lilo's family as broken, but good. That sadly reminds me of my family sometimes. We may be kinda broken, but we love each other and are still good. Thank you for your honesty TM. I am not upset (just wanted to be sure you knew that, lol. Cyber communications can be tricky). It is good to get other perspectives, it will give me something to bring up to my therapist on Thursday. Rolling my eyes. [/QUOTE]
