is there any one who can help family members cope with another who has been diagnosed with this disorder? its been very hard on our family as my husband has been tentatively diagnosed with this and as a family we are having a hard time understanding why he is the way he is. he has not worked a job for 4 yrs and its even harder now cause as his wife i lost my job back in sept 2003 and my unemployment ran out may 2004 and i still can't find a job. he feels like he is too ill to work and i can't do it by myself anymore. we are both 53 yrs. old. my patience is running out and i feel so stressed by his behavior that it is definitely affecting my well being and that of the kids that are still living at home. i have 22 yr. old twin boys-going to college and a 17 yr. old daughter and they definitely don't understand him. any info would be appreciated. my husband is seeing yet another doctor tomorrow as i don't have any means of paying for his care and hopefully something good will materialize from that but we will see.thanks in advance.
