> It sounds like you are going through a nightmare. It seems obvious that he needs to get help and quit the meds. if drugs impact badly on the people around you then there is definitely a problem, I guess its complicated by the add too. In my case the drugs just allow me to be normal, but I have to be wary of my tolerance to them increasing so that i need more and more. I am trying to lower my doses now so that its kept under control. Can you inform his doctors that hes getting extra scripts? Would he go to counselling or a rehabilitation hospital so that he can get off them.
I sympathise with your worries about your daughter spending time with him- you wonder if the courts really consider all the problems, dont you. Can you ask for his access to be supervised?
I doubt any of this will really help you but maybe just talking about it will so feel free to write back.
