Okay, I need your responses and help with this one

It is certainly a journey. It took a while to get to the point where I could let things go. I often stop myself and play a scenario in my mind of how it would play out if I said what I was thinking. Mostly I realize that it isn't that important to make that comment or ask that question. I still feel anxious but it goes away after a while. And it is much better than the arguments that frequently had taken place. Things are much calmer and pleasant now that I filter myself better. Know that this support group is here for you and help you through the bad days and celebrate with you on the good days. Wishing you the best on this journey.

When you talk about playing out a scenario in your mind. For the last few months I have, in my mind, been looking for a group that is going to do "A Christmas Carol" this year. My H could play Jacob Marley, Scrooge's dead partner who comes to visit him moaning and groaning and rattling chains.
H is already, no practice needed, all they would have to do is supply the chains.
I picture it in my mind and it makes me laugh, to myself of course.

Thank you so much. I guess until I settle in with what is happening with H and get some sort of schedule plus watch him so he doesn't give away everything it is going to be rough.
I do need to get a diagnosis. Unfortunately our family doc hasn't been able to do much and getting H to a psychiatrist, well just mention that and all hades would break loose.
