Well I'm too dumb to know what L-n-F is, but I'm glad you left the door open for your little girl. As I recall, I don't think you had the same option when you were a kid. So good for you for breaking the cycle, for being strong, for being a lifeline.
Love, COG

H has been having a lot of trouble with his arm lately. Something to do with the nerves and it is very painful for him. It has started to affect his grip, and yesterday that affected his work. They sent him home and he went to his doctor, who prescribed amitryptiline (sp?) until he can get to a neurologist next week for testing. He drank after taking it and it sent him "out there". He went to bed before her, but did not stay there. He was out of his mind, pulling clothes off her hangers and throwing them in a pile...he also told her that because she had called me, I would think he couldn't care for her. She said he was messing with the door frame and he fell twice. In the span of about 45 minutes he was in and out of bed 3 times, freaking her out more each time. She called me in between each time. The second time I tried to get her to let me come get her. She said she would just go to bed, that she didn't want him to be mad...I got off the phone and just started praying. Within 10 minutes she called me to come and get her. I ran right out the door. I had her safe with me at 11pm and I locked him in the house.
I just talked to H. When he got up this morning (I took D12 by to get ready for school and then dropped her off there), he called the doctor and told them what he could remember about last night. They found that they had given him a pill that was twice the dosage that he should have been prescribed. They told him from now on to cut them in half.
I realize this is just one small crisis averted - I also realize it could have been even worse - but it is a load off my mind for now. I just talked to my daughter, too and she is happy again. Her daddy told her that she did the right thing by calling me to come get her.
They just got back from the pumpkin patch down the street.
Amy I'm glad to hear your daughter is ok and your husband for that matter. Definitely a crisis or worse averted. Hopefully he'll see the big sign in front of him and correct his actions in the future.
It might be a good idea for him to take the medicine to the pharmacist and have them cut the pills properly for him. This way its done and the chance of overdosing is greatly reduced because he doesn't have to worry about cutting the pills himself.

I told D12 exactly what was going to happen if she did not come with me after that first call. I've seen him on pain meds and drinking before. I knew but she had to get a glimpse of it for herself. She did and she called me.
For whatever it's worth, I think it scared him almost as much as it scared her. But he's got his excuse readymade: They prescribed it wrong.
It ain't gonna fly over that simple with me though.
I certaintly hope not. Wrong dosage or not, like I said, the cocktail of drugs, alcohol and depression is not a good one!!!
You have to speak to him about this. One way or the other Amy. He cannot always live for the excuse, he has to understand the consequences of what he is now doing.
I'm glad the M is happy for her daddy.....but what if she were to walk in and find something else?
He needs to start addressing his issues.
JMO Amy.....you know how I feel about you and the whole twisted situation your in right now. I only wish the best for you guys, God knows you've been through enough.
Hugs
