Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

Hello Everyone

Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

Don`t know if I am making this up , but i have that feeling ,

@Shaz51
How did tea go? I think driving is one of those things we often take for granted. It is one thing that concerns me about where we live, we are not within walking distance of anything.

Hi @Former-Member, how has your day been

Yes our DIL wants our S3 to change which he has MI and ADHD and self medicating or else she is leaving , we were going to vistit but if they breakup we don`t want to be there BUT they still want us to come

Ha ha @Faith-and-Hope internet not so good for emergency situations.

All a bit awkward with S3 relationship issues @Shaz51, social supports are so important esp when self medicating, do you think he is adequately supported?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Can understand your feelings @Shaz51 (and Mr Shazzle Dazzles too).
There would be good supports available in the big smoke, getting him to link with them ... would this be possible?
