driving us crazy with his logic these days. He gets something in his head, whether or not it is true, and there is no convincing him differently.
Whenever possible we try to let it go. Unfortunately it isn't always that easy. Sometimes he says we promised him things we never promised him. Seriously, he believes these things. Or he'll say, "but you said I could." Nope-we didn't. I don't think he is trying to be manipulative, he really makes himself believe these things. These are only a couple of examples. He gets so angry and upset, swears, and yells rude comments when we have to contradict him, no matter how gently we try to do it.
He has always been this way to an extent but right now it seems to be happening a lot. It's frustrating. Any ideas on what is going on or how to deal with this? I've wondered if it could be the side effects of the Topamax but in the past psychiatrist has said it is more about word retrieval than other things.
