Mold caused him to get manic.
I love my husband and I knew he had a streak of mania long before I married him.
When something happens that could become traumatic, his mania sets in.
He doesn’t wait for the traumatic occurrence to happen, he just reacts. More often than not his mania causes us a lot of money and upset. He is driving me nuts right now, but I try to understand how is feeling. Regardless of how understanding I try to be, I went bonkers the other week. I knew about the mold in the bathroom. With all of the heat and humidity, I had already told him we should have the greenboard installed. Greenboard is a moisture resistant type of wallboard that is made to keep the moisture from getting into the wall. This helps to prevent mold from forming. We hadn’t had the greenboard installed yet, and my husband discovered mold on the walls of the bathroom. Not only did he pull out all of the walls in the bathroom, but he went through the entire house pulling out walls. He had already called the HvAC company before I got home, and they were in the process of tearing out the old ductwork and installing new ductwork. He had them cleaning the furnace and the air conditioning unit. There were orders for new air ducts and new air vent covers, along with a dehumidifier put into the house. One small patch of mold cost us thousands of dollars that we really couldn’t afford at that time. Mania or no mania, I lit into him when the HVAC technician left for the day. In his defense, they did find mold in other parts of the house, which meant we also need mold remediation done.
