LJ,

Thanks again for the prayers and thoughts. No doubt there are psychological issues beneath all this other stuff, again, she has been diagnosed with everything from BipolarII to histrionic personality disorder and has been on various antidepressents for many, many years. The latest med she was taking (prescribed) was Klonopin which is highly addictive and strongly enhances the effects of alcohol. Last time I talked to her she has not had any mdeications of any kind for 3 weeks now (thats a first that I can remember in 12 yrs), and I told her I notice that she doesnt have the depression in her voice anymore. She is starting to feel better and seeing life without any meds in her system. There is still a good deal of denial though, she knows I know more than I need to but she shys away from owning up to too much now, I know its painful for her and she is disgusted with herself (she said that) and I know that when she finally looks me in the eyes its gonna be tough because she has been lying for so long. What a mess.
