Dona, (& any others), my original answer about not having your husband have to take responsibility for getting you to stop Ambien comes from my heart.
Your situation is diff than mine was. You are, no doubt, totally diff than my husband was (is). But through years of depending on me for his strength (he'd beg me sometimes to stay home with him) & telling me he loved me & needed me, he grew to hate himself & me. The marriage disintegrated & he walked out. I had wanted nothing but to help & tried not to force anything on him but to reason or talk with him. But we should probably never had married in the first place.
What I'm saying is the weight was so, so very much for me to bear & I lost all respect for him as he grew to hate me & I felt like he used me for his conscience instead of trying to get help (he refused to discuss anything with pdocs or therapists - said they didn't know anything).
Like I said, your relationship may be entirely diff but I did love him very much at one time & really wanted to do my best to help. The load can become too much.
