my name is Angela, I'm 19 and have a 4 month old daughter and a 5 year old step son and my husband is agoraphobic. when we met i knew he couldn't leave the small town of of Ohio that we live in, but he promised me that he would work at getting better. well we've been together for a year and 9 months and been married for 9 months and things are worse than they wore when we got together. you see i work 30 hours a week so that we can have a place of our own to live and he can finish college through the mail and take care of our daughter and since he's home all the time his agoraphobia has gotten worse. He has a panic attack going to his doctor which is a two minute drive or less. His doctor has changed his medicine and that doesn't seem to be helping at all... He doesn't get to see his son anymore because his mother says that she's afraid that he'll have a panic attack while his son's here and he won't be able to take care of him. he missed his son's first day of school, his missed almost every doctors appointment for his daughter and he has missed most of his family functions because of this... i don't know what to do about this problem because he won't try and he does seem like he wants to get any better... i don't want him to miss anymore of his son's life and i don't want him to miss his daughter's life and I'm afraid that if things keep going like they have been I'm going to go crazy!
