Thank you so much for your very quick response!   I am very frustrated. And no, he is not talking to a therapist. I have mentioned therapy to him and he does not seem willing to do that either.   The problem is that when he gets to the point he is at now, everything is everyone else's fault, so there isn't much reasoning with him. I can relate. I am the same way when I am unmedicated -- nearly impossible to get along with.   He just goes into complete shut down with me and stays angry all the time. You can literally sense the anger eminating from him, which makes it uncomfortable when he is home. I don't like the idea of the kids being around the tension, but am rationalizing that at least they are not around it alone and I can remove them from the environment to a more positive surrounding.   I am just getting worn down by the tip-toe around the mood swings game. The emotional withdrawal and silent treatment are really becoming old, and I am nearly out of patience with the scenario. People can only walk around on eggshells for so long....then you feel like stomping on the whole carton, just to get it over with. Sometimes it seems the only power we have.   I appreciate your letting me vent. I was informed last night that I should "keep my mouth shut" about what goes on between he and I, but when I am unable to talk to him, I have to talk to someone. I am not going to isolate myself from others when he is placing so much distance beween he and I. It's not healthy.   The only solution that I can see right now is going back to handing him his meds every night. My fear is that he is already failing to take responsibility for his actions, behavior, and moods....I feel that I would be enabling that lack of responsibility or even providing him with justification to continue doing so.   Again, I sincerely appreciate your quick response. I will keep you updated on what progress (if any) is made.
