One year in but a newbie

[Lifes Twists]

Hi AS and thanks for the comments. I have done a lot of reading on ADs. I have read a lot on the long term affects and the loosing of love for a spouse and or children. I am sure we would find we have many similar experiences that may be the result of the use of ADs by our spouses. I was already looking at her use of ADS before it all went south and she accused me of having issues with people who have psychological issues. My problem is how little supervision within the medical community there is concerning the use of ADs. The manufacturers of these meds don't even recommend their use beyond 2 years. They also recommend active and ongoing monitoring of the patient at the level of ADs my wife is on. Somehow I don't think once every 2 years for a checkup and issues another prescription constitutes the proper monitoring. I wish you luck and pray that both our wives get the help they need.

In regards to visitation, I have what ever the kids will give me. They are teenagers and at times don't want to be seen with either of us. I did take my 17 and 14 year old skiing this past weekend. I am hoping to take all 3 skiing this coming weekend. I contact my daughters directly and ask them and I don't go through my wife. I expect them to tell her where they are going. I won't ask her permission. I see them a lot at the apartment they are sharing with their mother. I am in the home right now and I feel that they don't want to come here and be reminded about what they have had to give up because of this situation. They have gone from a nice house with their own rooms to a cramped 2 bedroom apartment.

I thank your for your advice. What you have recommended is how I have been handling interaction my wife.
