Therapists are not able to manage medications, as that is typically outside our scope of practice. I would recommend discussing your concerns with your daughter's doctor and/or a Psychiatrist.
Divorce him and get counseling to rebuild yourself and find a new love-filled future. You need to learn to love yourself, find yourself, and be yourself. Be the best you can be. To do this, you need to heal, a good counselor can help you heal, together you can rebuild yourself to love life and love again. A spouse who cheats is unfulfilled and never will find fulfillment unless they truly learn how to love unselfishly. Find a good counselor!
This is always so complicated and I'm so sorry you have been hurt. Infidelity can be damaging, but not insurmountable with the right help. I would find a good couples' counselor who is familiar with the Emotionally Focused Therapy model. They work relationally and work with the feelings that make us vulnerable that may or may not have led to both the infidelity, but also to the difficulties in forgiving. I don't think "forgetting" is the answer, but rather finding the way back to connection, which a professional can help you do if it is hard to do on your own.
Hi,
Thank you for your question. I recommend that you seek therapy to process the infidelity from your husband and to learn new coping skills. Therapy can help to provide the necessary support during a relationship rupture such as this.

This is a heavy and loaded question, and one that will require many different things at once.
First, you need a safe outlet to process this traumatic experience. Then, you need some positive interactions with him. And ultimately you need marriage counseling together to rebuild your bond.
Many marriages recover from things like this. But its very hard to do alone. Listen to some great podcasts like Only You Forver that discuss this issue. And ultimately, find a therapist you can unload this baggage with and do the good work of recovering from it.
