You are to be congratulated for your openess and willingness to seek help. You seem to have acknowledged well the effects on your partner and its potential outcomes. That is major! Many people who acknowlege need for meds just stop there.

I believe if you have communicated your feelings hosestlyto your partner just as you have here it will be a good foundation for the road ahead for you two. I can not speak about your partner's status, but if that he if is reading the book with you it would seem to mean he is in it for the long haul.

For me personally, all I've wanted is assurance that my spouce is really putting efforts to work through this disease in an honest way. I haven't expected perfection. If I did I wouldn't have hung in there this long.

Hang in there you too and keep up the good work!
