DH is my problem. I thought my skids were my problem, but it's how DH relates to them, not them. they are normal kids of 15 and 10. DH treats them like they shoulud be adults. He tried to give SS15 a shot of jaeger a few weeks ago. He yells at SS10 for having an imagination. I'm not totally devoid of blame in expecting a lot from them, but it's not because I want them to be adults. It's because I want them to be accountable for their actions. (SS10 has been faking sick and making him self sick for 3 days. I told him no TV today if he stayed home from school.

DH has just finished one of the worst manic episodes I've seen since we married. He is coming down in the last 3 days, but it was damaging. SS15 will probably soon decide not to live with us. I told him I would understand. He's probably the only one that understands what I go through with DH because he's usually around when DH has a problem. Now that DH is getting stable, he has agreed to do some counselling, see a doctor regularly (probably every month to evaluate his reaction to meds/supplements/other treatments), and create more stable routines around the house.

Why, all of the sudden, does he think that he doesn't need to communicate? He thinks that the way he talks to me is "just fine" and that my confusion and frustration are not warrented. WHAT A JERK!! He's convinced that he knows exactly how to talk to me and approach me about stuff and decisions. WHAT THE HELL!!?? I just want the jerk to decide to talk to me about decisions in a way that eases me into it before he asks me to make a decision. He needs to learn to let me ease into ideas and information.

I just can't stand the mush anymore. :sick: SS15 has been on his Facebook almost hourly in the last 3 days posting mushy, lovey-dovey comments. Just today over 95 of them! He's gone from his gf for a week (2 days with MIL and 5 days with my parents). I understand they miss each other, but seriously!! It's like he's turned into this love sick pussy! I want him to grow a pair and enjoy the time with his grandparents (which HE calls them, not me). I want him to play it cool and give her some space. He gets jealous when she hangs out with friends. He talks to her almost constantly.
