They got you right where they want you.
Are you still happier now having taken the easy way out ?

Having taken the easy way out? WTF does that mean?
Feel free to just ignore him.
I realize that I didn't ask something before.....You said that when you go back to read again, you have to go back a few pages to remember what was going on. As you are re-reading those pages, do you start to remember or is it like reading it fresh again? Because if it is like you didn't read it before, it could be a different problem that they are just assuming is the meds, the stress and the mania.
I love to read, but have gone through many periods where the stress and frustrations of life are just so high I can't focus on a book long enough to read a page, let alone a chapter. During those times, I just don't read, I will find something else to do.
Cutting yourself some slack isn't always the easiest thing in the world to do, but it is really an important characteristic to learn. I know that when I was working in family law, I had to learn to not work past a certain hour or my mind would be too revved up to sleep. I had to keep reminding myself (and sometimes clients, lol) that after 7 or 8 o'clock, work was off limits. So you need to remind yourself to cut yourself some slack and relax.
As for reading to your son, see if reading aloud to him causes you to remember better what you read. Reading aloud uses another part of the brain, so it could help you remember better. If it does, then you can go off by yourself to read and read aloud to yourself.
