@sandij- Oh my goodness you were certainly beyond brave to take care of a woman who no one else wanted, and someone who you had only met once. I think that compassion comes in regardless of how another person acts and it can certainly wane if they become mean, like you experienced. That must have been so horrible for you. I truly am sorry that you had to endure this.
And I'm actually more sad and upset that your husband reacted the way he did. I'm sure that you explained what was going one, maybe not word for word, but some of it. Did you?
It's really tough to hold your head up when someone seems to turn on you.
I'm so glad that effexor is in the past and I hope that you can get past any residual side effects so that you can get on with making some positive plans. Does your husband have any idea how you feel?

@merpreb I can talk till I am blue in the face and he will still not understand how I feel because he keeps coming back to "we are two different people". Its true, he cannot possibly put himself in my shoes, nor does he want to, because he is more interested in being in his own. LOL. Marriage is a dance of two people coming together and moving apart, sometimes losing sight of each other on a crowded dance floor, but hopefully when the song ends, you are listening to the last strains of music in each others arms.
