My husband, who takes medication typically given to people with bipolar disorder (depakote + an antidepressant), did things tonight that are fairly typical of him and leave me feeling really distant from him and wondering if my kids should be away from this man.
First, I mentioned things we needed from a store. He said, "Let's go in a few minutes." He rarely wants to go anywhere, so this was a surprise. He was playing a computer game and we'd just finished dinner. Our oldest son didn't like the dinner - it was a dish I know he doesn't like, but the rest of us do. So, while I was doing dishes, I was cooking hamburgers for our son.
My husband quit his game suddenly and said, "Let's go." I said - I'm cleaning the kitchen, I'll be done soon.
He replied - Why Don't you just admit you don't want me to go to the store with you?
I said, "I wasn't expecting to go right away, I need to clean the kitchen."
Then, our oldest came in and sat down.
