@cmiddlet It all sounds so tough and I really admire you for your perseverance. You are so strong. And that’s what the kids will learn from all of this—that their mother is strong.
Do you have someone you can talk with? Can the school recommend someone for the kids to talk to?

Some days, I admit, I feel like I just don't have the strength to handle it. I see a psychiatrist thru my employer's assistance program. We all see a family counselor once a week. The kids have excellent support at school.

I am just sad, angry, and stressed out about it - the counseling does help. The reality that this could last years and years though - the once loving husband is more agitated, paranoid, and uncooperative. I've been reading about recent research into aggression toward caregivers, so at least it is understood these patients commonly do that.
