> I've never went into this part of my life, but here goes......I get

home from my appt. and my husband is just sitting here stewing waiting

to tear into to me. He recently quit taking paxil, I believe because

he thought I was getting too much attention because of the side

effects I'm having with the withdrawal when my doctor took me off of

paxil.

> Anyway, it's a sad situation i'm in. I've checked in to getting

SSD, but I'm not eligible because I have not worked in the last ten

years. It was a joint decision that I not work and help with our

rental property, care for my Mom, volunteer at school and church etc

etc. I have always worked but I guess not in a way that counts for

anything in anyone's eyes. I feel so trapped, so alone, so unloved,

so unappreciated. My whole body feels so full of tears that won't

come. I feel like i'm headed for a total breakdown. I don't know

what to do. Judy

Oh Judy, I wish I could reach out and give you a gentle hug. Has he

ever reacted this way before, or was this out of the blue? Could it

be that he's having withdrawal from paxil issues? I don't know

anything about it, but I know from experience that some medications

have really thrown me for a loop! I can imagine what withdrawal can

be like!

There are lots of options for you, if you can get yourself to make

some calls. Try talking with an attorney to see what your rights are

if he decides to leave....or tell you that you have to leave. Prepare

for the worst, but we will pray for the best.

Take care of you!
