Hi - thanks. Yes, he is struggling w/ both mental illness (absolutely Deperssion & most likely BiPolar ... i was a psyc RN for a long time, so I know the symptoms & behavior - he was tried on Lithium years back at my urging, but he stopped taking it) & alcoholism (binge drinker more than daily).


Im glad some of our trauma can help someone else! (I'd like a bit LESS of it though! lol)

R~


I read your post a while ago and was horrified at the behavior he displayed last week or so... but am thrilled that they had a positive experience last night... I hope the good days and good experiences begin to outnumber the bad ones...


and yeah for miss A on all her very astute observations and realizations... that deserves a big WTG!


*hugs* to both of you

Sounds like a good plan. I'm sending positive vibes that the courts go along and the outcome is as you'd like. When is the next court "ruling" (sorry, I'm unsure of the word to use)...

I'm glad that he seems to be realizing what's really happening.... but still, like you know, staying ont he right track is a moment by moment thing for him, and sometimes he just can't pull it off.


I think that your explanation to her after the carnival night was perfect!

Thanks. & I also recv'd copy of the report by the psyc, for court tomorrow. & it CLEARLY states that he is not appropriate to have any supervised visitation. Its says LOTS, 2 pages worth, but thats the jist.
