Wow, Matt. That sounds so typical, yet so sad. The blame part is the most ironic. Yet, I think the biggest piece that keeps them in MLC. As long as it is something/someone else's fault, there is no reason to be accountable for anything.
I can't believe the dr. That is terrible. I just don't like the mentality in our society that things are so easily disposable, particularly a family and marriage. Unreal- someone in that profession, prescribing these meds should have a better clue. I don't like the flippant attitude about this situation and about prescribing meds at all. It is serious stuff and should be handled accordingly. That must be really frustrating for you. Boy, this is an uphill battle, for sure. She is going to have to learn for herself. She will see, once she feels "free" of you, or whatever she wants, she still will not find happiness.
I can tell you, I gave my h a quick and easy d. I have not gotten paperwork finalizing it, but I just went right along. If that's what he wanted, he got it. He was adamant, and such a jerk, I felt the best option was to give him what he thought he wanted, to be "free" of me. Then he could take a look in the mirror and see that he really wasn't happier. Well, as you know, things didn't work out exactly like that. But, the last conversation we did have, I said, you must be relieved, our divorce is almost final and you will be free of me. His response, "It's not a relief." What the heck is that?! See... they think they know what they want.... they have no clue.
