[quote=Anonymous]My dad is actually on Prozac and he's been trying to get my mom to take it too.  I think it actually helped him, but I can't be sure.  My mom complained that it made him "out of it" but said it helped with his constant picking of fights and complaining. I've been trying to convince him to help more around the house, but he just flat out refuses. He has never lifted a finger to cook or clean in decades.  He's not going to change his ways.

I've actually had therapy before to deal with family issues. but for dh's side.  In retrospect it was incredibly helpful.  We never delved too deep into my parents side because that was a whole other beast, and the problems with dh's family were more pressing at the time.  Pp, I think you are right though, I should.  It'll be tougher to swing while taking care of 2 little ones, but I can and will make it work.

I'm considering the inevitable... That I'm going to eventually have to take care of my parents, and it's giving me a migraine just thinking about the stress of it.  The constant obsessive worrying, the nagging, and all the responsibilities I'll have to take on.  I'm barely keeping up with my own life now with 2 kids. I've been avoiding the problem, and it just keeps growing.[/quote]
