Jonah commented on my last post. He has a brother with brain damage/manic depression (bipolar disorder), and made this observation about his brother:
"If he has a ridiculous idea (for example, if he tells me that I used to be purple or that he has heard dogs speaking to him) it's best to just say "wow, I had no idea" and leave it at that."
Thank you Jonah, if it is only for reminding me that I just may not be able to reason with my hubby, period. I have wondered more than once if my husband might be bipolar, as there is some history of it in the family. I am always one who wants things to make sense, and they so often don't with my husband. So, if he won't/can't change (except for the worse), I guess that means I will have to? Sometimes, it really is better to just let it go. I try hard to remember that . . . thank God for friends who are sane!
