I have a new problem with OH, that did not happen with mum and I dont think Im coping very well with it.
For several mornings recently OH has been shouting out and when I have gone into his room he seems to be awake and shouting things like "Your killing me", "hes coming for me" and getting in a state, or he is shouting in a very creepy voice, totally unlike his own, "youve got to kill yourself". I confess that the hairs stand up on the back of my neck - it is like being in one of those horror films where someone is being possessed. OH seems to be awake, but not really and I shake him and shout at him (hes very deaf) to try and wake him up, but he is disorientated and confused for a while. I admit that I am angry - probably due to the fear. Eventually I can reassure him that hes had a nightmare, but how do I deal with that initial problem while he is shouting and confused?
