Thank you chris. I have wondered for months if not longer what happened to dusty. Dogs bark at night because they are bored. Unfortunately you had a lot to handle, I just am glad that you found rusty a home. It has pained me always wondering, I know a dog or dogs can drive people to do drastic things. but they are innocent, misunderstood beings, just as crystal was under the influence of the meds. (i know, i've been there done that, more than once). Thanks again for loving crystal, and being there for her. You rock. Dogs are a commitment, and you have to have time to spend with them as you do your kids, if you ever get another one, ask me i'll help you find a dog that would fit perfect into a family, with as much as you have going on. i would be dead without my little rotten furry kids. they make my life whole.

So glad to get another installment of Finley which imho is unfolding brilliantly. Holding good thoughts that the 2 of you are in this for the long haul, bumps, warts and all. Hope your holidays are merry and bright and your 2010 is healthy and harmonious.

I think you mean bawling (i.e. crying hysterically) not "balling" (i.e. fucking).

I couldn't figure out how to comment at Crystal's blog...could you pass this along?
I just wanted to say how disappointed I was when your blog disappeared. I have enjoyed reading your stories. I'll be sad if you decide to no longer share with the world, but there's a lot of very mean people out there, so I do understand. Good Luck in all you do!! God Bless.

I just wanted to say that I am praying for your family. I am going through a different kind of family drama, so hearing your story helps. I read your wife's blog and think she is an awesome writer. I love her sarcastic sense of humor. Meds can make you do crazy things. I hope her drs can get on the same page. Best wishes!

When my husband took Ambien, he told me stories from his childhood that never happened. I took Ambien only once, and I was talking to people who weren't there and I started crying when my husband initiated lovemaking because I couldn't recognize his face. Crazy shit.

Two cents:
AMBIEN IS TERRIBLE. Took it once - while in labor (for two days) - as result, childbirth memories have a haze of nightmare-ness when I think back on them. Super kudos for getting everything straightened out there! <3

Long time reader and supporter of Crystal's blog... Wanted to say I've had some experience with Ambien myself and it is POTENT. If you don't fall asleep on it right away a lot of times you wind up dreaming while awake, in some crazy Alice-in-wonderland shit in your head as your brain mixes what it's actually seeing with what it's trying to dream.

I'm so sorry for all you two went through over this, but I am glad to see you reach a point where you can move beyond this together.

2009-11-15T11:12:54.233-06:00

You are a damn wise man Chris, to identify the drugs rather than the person. I almost lost my brest friend because I couldn't separate the behavior as a mental illness from the person I had known and loved.

Love to you and yours.

2009-11-15T10:47:16.612-06:00

Being one who deals with her own whacked out family drama on a regular basis, I admire the courage both of you show in putting it all out there. I can't and won't do it, not even anonymously, because I simply don't want to deal with the backlash. There are times when I probably should, times that might help someone else get through something. Thank you for doing that. I'm glad all this came out so that you and Crystal could finally have a discussion about it. Silver lining and all that. Things left unsaid do more damage than those said.

Keep communication open, guys. You're in my prayers.

2009-11-15T10:42:45.928-06:00

I don't have much to say about this, but I mentioned it to my girlfriend (with lots of addiction and recovery experience in her history), and she says that having multiple doctors unaware of what the others are prescribing is a common addiction behavior. I don't know y'all or your story, but it might be something to look at.

2009-11-15T10:15:05.924-06:00

Okay, I think I've got it now. I've read all the posts and I think that Crystal thought she killed Dusty, but she didn't and now she knows she didn't so she's much better. I am very happy that Crystal is free of this now and I think we should all move forward and support her and Chris in whatever they do Those of you idiots who find pleasure in other people's pain can go haunt someone else's blog. Leave these people alone you self-righteous bitches and move on. And yeah, I've taken Ambien a time or two and it sucks...This cleared up a lot, Chris and Crystal and I hope things get better for you from here.

2009-11-15T09:14:38.610-06:00

I'm still confused also...but I do know Ambien is some WHACKED medication. That is FOR SURE!

2009-11-15T06:52:07.158-06:00

It is a strange world in which we live that we can become so engrossed in other people's lives whom we've never met. So, thank you for letting us in and explaining! And I am really glad that Crystal didn't dump Dusty because I know it was killing her.

I'm sorry there are so many freaky hateful people out there that comment on your blogs, but there are lots of freaky non hatefuls that are supporting you!!

I'm not a bible thumper.
I'm far from innocent.
I've done things in my life that I look back on now and realize what a horrible effect that it has had on the people around me and the people beyond them.

The very few people I've come across in my life who might even come close to the ability....

strike that

The very few people I've come across in my life who have the mental and spiritual and intellectual foundation to say that what someone else did was wrong, would never attack them.

Attacking is for cowards and the guilty and yes that is my statement based on my own personal experience of doing the attacking.

Chris, Crystal;

I can't imagine the struggle that putting your lives out here on the World Wide Web has injected into your lives. I understand that you get attacked constantly and that you have a far from "perfect" marriage.

I would just ask that you realize that there is one person, with his own huge hurdles to overcome in his own life and marriage, that admire you while maybe not agreeing with everything.

It's not easy to live in this society as a person. Add a companion to it exponentially increases the difficulty. Add the kids to it and well, we all must be insane.

I DARE anyone to truly put their lives into as much of a public life as you and Crystal have done.

2009-11-14T22:50:40.481-06:00

You know, I'm glad to hear a big chink of this was a misunderstanding.

When the hubby and I first got together, we had a (minor) blowup. It was time to go somewhere. I wasn't done with my hair yet and he went out to start the car. He was trying to get the A/C going so I'd be cool. By the time I got in the car, I was livid. How dare he try to rush me like that?

It was uncomfortable, but we TALKED about it and figured out the problem before it snowballed any more. Talking openly makes a huge difference. We've even learned how to "pause" an argument until we cool off.

A professional therapist (NOT a friend) can help a bunch. I hope you can a good one first try. If not, try try again.

and another one!

2009-11-14T22:28:50.752-06:00

and another one!

look! open here, too!
