[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 679680, member: 11832"] DM, I'm sorry that it's my story that resonating with you, because it isn't a very happy story. Yes, it has been awhile. My husband died in December of 2010. I feel like with mental illness that it's my job to speak out about it. There are so many other families trying hard to cope with similar issues. The system for helping the families is far from ideal. My hope is that by being honest about our experiences that changes will be made for the better. And I would have liked for my husband, who really was a thoughtful and compassionate person when sane, to get better. My neighbor's husband was in the psychiatric hospital when my husband was in for the last time. She told me recently that my husband's death changed her family. Her children met with their father, confronted him about his own illness, and that pushed her husband to get on a better path. Today, he is alive and well and parenting his 4 children far better, because my husband didn't make it. I was so happy to hear that her family used our situation to make positive changes. I also want to take a minute to thank all of the members who originally responded to this thread so compassionately. You have no idea how much each of you has helped me to heal and become stronger. :grouphugg: [/QUOTE]
