Thank you all for your input. You've all definitely given me a lot to think about. I'm going to focus on getting myself stable so that I am better equipped to make the right decisions. Even though my parents are helping in this situation, they have made it very clear that they do not believe in mental illness, and want nothing to do with that part of my life. So I am my own support system at the moment. My husband has agreed to counseling because I just broke down yesterday and told him that he's not who he used to be, and that's who I need. It was, what I hope, a changing moment for both of us. He's even going to come to my appointment with my Monday so that my therapist can kind of help him understand what I'm going through. If this doesn't work out, at lease we will know that we tried, and we will have to move on from there. Again, thank you everyone, I really appreciate you all taking the time to offer advice and words of encouragement.
