My H has been on lexapro for about 3-4 years. Personally, I noticed a huge change in him for the better when he started them. He credits this as helping him not cheat for those 4 years until this last time. I then noticed a big change in his behavior a month or so before he started this A. He also started taking testosterone. Wanted to bulk up...
Anyway, I had asked him a few times if he thought he should talk to his Dr about switching meds. Kept saying he just felt numb to life. He mentioned it again last week. He thinks it might be causing some of his sleeping problems. Says he sleeps all the time now.
"D23 and I had a long talk this morning too. She's still very angry at her mom for some stuff in the past (when she was 14 or 15, W told D23 that if she hadn't got pregnant with her, she never would've M'd me), as well as the current sitch (D23 thinks I should've left W last year). I told her again that she needs to discuss her own past issues with her mom, or learn to forgive them - as I wasn't going to be a fixer for this.
Told her I understand her hurt, no child should EVER be told something like that, but, I seriously doubted she intended to blame D23 for her unhappiness. Also reaffirmed that her mother loves her, she's just having a very tough time right now."
Oh my. You did amazing with that. Wow, no kids should hear that. You really are a great dad!!
