Thanks you two! I am sorry luvdogs, that you lost your dad so young. I don't necessarily think he is schizo. His mom is paranoid schizo, but I do think he needs some therapy, and so does our marriage counselor. She actually told him to secure a personal therapist because he needs it, and he told me that she said he needs it to deal with me! I called our marriage therapist today and told her if she did not see us this week I was filing for separation. I told her what he said, and she told me that she told him he needs help on his own. I know this is a struggle for all of us. I am just so glad to be able to talk to people who don't put me down or think I am crazy. I know I am, I just am able to admit it!
