Things have been sooo bad recently. My husband is really out of control. I am totally amazed at the meds he is on and is still able to act the way he does. I did finally get an appointment with a Psychiatrist for him and they have been very helpful. I've decided though, that I will give it more time to see if they can get him under control, and if it doesn't happen he will have to leave.

He thinks everything is always all about him. Our 2 older kids are going through hell and I don't think he even cares. One of my son's class mates, a senior, killed himself on Monday. I have been distraught myself over this, he was a wonderful young man. I feel bad that on graduation day my son and his friends will most likely be thinking about their friend instead of fully enjoying the experience. (sorry, I know that this has absolutely nothing to do with Hd) This young man deserves to be honored and I'm sure that they will do just that. It will be a bitter sweet day!

our daughter is in the high school musical. She has worked sooo hard and my husband just cannot understand why I would go to see it more than once! Most of the parents will probably go to all of the shows. Is it normal for someone with HD to be so self centered?

Sorry JudyF... that sucks. It sounds like my mother and father's relationship. It must be so hard for you. I fear being the patient, and have issues trying to push people away so I DON'T act like that...the way my dad did. So, from the other side, as someone who sees it coming... I know I (even subconsciously) try to spare people from the drama that will be my life.

I have seen it from the kids point though.

I hope it gets better.

(((HUGS))) Sounds "normal" to me, for them to be selfish and not understand why others have different opinions. But it sounds like you're going through a particularly bad time.

I hope the psychiatrist's treatments continue to improve things - but more quickly. Hang in there.

Keep us posted....
