JYL,
Did you self-admit yourself to the hospital, or was it "done" to you? The person I am speaking of already "self-admitted", albeit unsure about it, back in December. OK, it's my wife, most of you who know me probably have seen me post about some of her problems. However, I am more concerned about how my 8 year old daughter is being adversely affected by my wife's verbal abuse and neglect of her. I could take my wife's alienation, if it was just ME. However, I have to consider my daughter's welfare now as much as mine. My wife has gotten SOME help, but she has not progressed, and has refused to let me be involved in ANY aspect of her couseling. I'm a mess, as if my own illness were not enough of a burden, having to try to carry my "family" along as if we are "normal". There is nothing "normal" about our interactions, or lack there of, to be more specific. It has become toxic,and I cannot allow it to become terminal. The cycle HAS to stop here, I donnot want my daughter's life to be intractably scared by this. Maybe taking my wife out of the house will make her realize that she HAS to get whatever help is necessary to return to functionality. For HER sake, for MY sake, but mostly for my daughter's sake. Now that I have put some more "meat on the bone" here, does anyone else want to jump in?
Holding out hope.....and trying to hold on.
PAX
