Fair to middlin'... My wife has become much more stable and is at the moment very med compliant. She doesn't have a lot of choice as I keep them all laid out for her! Personally I am trying to work through some of my resentments regarding things that had been said or done when she was cycling so badly. I am currently journalizing on three "feelings" to try and put them out there and dump them: Resentment, Anger, and Betrayal.

Now that she is doing better she wants to get everything back to "normal" and is beginning to resent how hard I work to try to keep her life stable. I don't think she quite gets how much of her mental/emotional stability is due to the work I do to keep the world around her stable(keep triggers down). She complains about living in a bubble, but the bubble making her feel restricted is keeping her triggers out too! I am finding there is a fine line to dance between being supportive/caring/helpful and becoming co-dependent. All in all she is doing much better, though not as well as she thinks she is!

Thanks for asking!
