are going well for you in the circumstance; your dressing not oozing, being able to walk as much as you can, and get back and forth to the bathroom and kitchen by yourself, and even that you have Bill there to help out with the dogs.

I don't have to imagine my husband being that way. He sounds just like my husband has sounded for several years, it is the way my husband has always been if I am the one down. He is much better since he had other side effects, and they changed some of his meds, but he can still growl and snarl out of nowhere over normal things occasionally, but the rest of the time, I am not living with a stranger.

I know how it can get to you, especially not feeling up to par yourself. Try to let it slide off and don't take it personally because being totally by yourself is worse, even if it doesn't seem that way when he is snarling. When he is snarling like that, it is totally about him and not you. Remember that. Just smile and think of Paris because if you let it affect you or if you engage, it is a reward for the behavior, and you will just get more of it, but if he is anything like my husband, putting all that into a vacuum does not sit well. It might bring out more tantrums for a bit, but if all of them fall into a vacuum, he starts trying to do what gets attention by acting better.
