Living with REM Behavior Disorder

for several years we have been going through a very tough time. My husband went though health issues that lead us to closing a 20 very successful business. closing the door, was difficult but he had another job, after two years here work became very slow and he was laid off. went to work and same thing, he became depressed, very depressed and began cymbalta. which rapidly lead to glaucoma.

before being dignosed he lost 75% and 50% perferal vision. we had to sell our house at a tremendous reduction. paid off the bills, began renting- we celebrated our 41 anniversay. this was so diffrent than we imagined. health not as good- on all kinds of medications that we could not afford, i went to work, life had changed completely for us.

My husband had suffered from sleep disorders, years ago woke up trying to kill me. other time I woke up with his hands coming toward me to choke me. I told several people, if he killed me to stand beside him in court because he is asleep.

recently I came home from work after a very bad day, when my story was complete he said what’s for dinner, I began yelling, why had he not cooked after being home all day?

I saw something in him snap that moment, I wanted to talk with him, made small talk during dinner to no avail

That night some very bad things happen that he did not remember at all. these things have happen several times over the years of doing things and never remembering, however this is bad.

He needs help now and I do not know where to turn. Please help us as people in power do not understand or beleive this
