I have stopped discussing my medication treatment with my husband. I am absolutely fed up with hearing his, "So...do you think you'll ever be able to stop taking medication...." - especially when he desperately needs to be on meds himself!

I so understand. Except it's with my parents. Dad has disorganized speech, acts out in sleep, hears voices while asleep and so on. Mom... better not talk about her, made me disabled and now tells me it's my fault I am disabled andI should exercise for two hours and follow her order to be a top-ranking police official (which, by the way, is harder than cracking the MCAT, as you've to give a very tough exam, then go through physical interview, then training and then 7 days a week, all weeks a month job) and I am a foolish person for trying to pursue my passion in science, as nobody fears scientists and doctors. Also, the purpose of life is to have a job. ALSO, living normally makes you a weak person incapable of holding a job.
