    • Open Dyslexia

      My husband has about 7 types of dyslexia. I am trying to find ways to help me be ableto live with him without making him feel bad about himself. I also need coping methods for when his dyslexia causes him to accuse me of spending all his money every pay day. It is getting to the point where I feel the only solution is divorce but I still love him.
