When the dose is increased it may be even better. Hopefully with therapy in combination with the lithium when the stressors that cause the other guy to show up will be less frequent. It does seem that the days events and the hard words were a trigger for him. Be careful about the tears. My husband also wasn't much of a tear person. I always knew when he cried it was a big deal. It is more of a emotional release. It doesn't mean the behavior will change. I had thought, well, he is crying he knows how much he hurt me or the the kids now that there is this break though he will work harder or now he can see what he's done and we can move forward. That wasn't the case. I think he felt bad more for himself and not not us. I do believe there was remorse but not enough for change. Not yet. Even though it was a bad day for you I do see some progress. Hang in there.perphilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17191514151838436492noreply@blogger.com
