To all of my new friends that replied- thank you for sharing your hugs, likes, advice, and wisdom.
I found something helpful in every single response, whether it was relief or just a calmness. I also had those “wow” moments just to know that someone else understands.

Side note: if I ever hear my friend say: You’ve got this- I may explode like the volcano that one of you mentioned.

This is the best forum I have found for our situation. Since I made this post, my spouse has been calm and not so demanding, aggressive, selfish, or obsessive. That is one of the stair steps a neurologist told me about; there will be ups and downs, periods of evenness, and then another step. ( up or down, depending on how we view the progression.)

I also truly believe that God is working through every one of you. I pray for this group and tell God that I am thankful for each of you and to help us all get through this. The Serenity Prayer says exactly what I need.

God Bless You and God bless Mayo.
