[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 678636, member: 11832"] Insane, Maybe that was a silver lining in dealing with my husband's illness. His behavior went off the charts, and I was forced to talk to friends and neighbors about what was happening. I think my candor, my love for my husband in spite of his psychosis, and my resolve to keep my kids as safe and away from the furor as possible enabled people to step-up. I cannot express how mortifying it was to tell the parents of my children's friends that "my husband is crazy and not safe to be around." I swallowed my pride, and asked for help. People responded with offers of a safe room to stay in or took my kids to give them a break from the craziness. Some people even tried to talk to my husband. I've always counted on mostly friends to be there for me. My family is not particularly close or supportive. It is SO's family who is stepping up to help counsel, guide and watch over Ferb. We reciprocate by taking their kids and giving them a break. [/QUOTE]
