[QUOTE="betdan, post: 273399, member: 7412"] Speaking to my husband did not go as well as I thought it would...he got pretty defensive when I read back your posts and I was very surprised by his reaction since he has been totally on board to get her help. He told me to do whatever I want but that he thought we should not jump and go directly to a neuropsychologist and that we should take her to a psychiatrist first. I did make an error...the schizoprenia is her GREAT-Grandmother not grandmother...I don't know if that makes much of a difference.
