What an uncomfortable day it was for me.  My husband went off into a rage last night breaking things and verbally abusing me infront of my daughter and also verbally abusing her.  I have beensupportive of his bipolar disorder and keep trying to make things work but I have come to the point of just giving up.  I am tired of the abuse and the broken promises.  I dont want my daughter around the abuse anymore.  She is my number one.  He is a very hateful man, he will not leave knowing that he is never to come back.  He is just that way...if I want him to leave he wont...if he wants to leave he does.  I guess I will just pray to my higher power for the strength and courage.  I just dont know how to go about it.  If I was to put a restraining order on him he would flip!  I live in "small town" USA in the midwest and the police force here is not supportive to say the least.  I have called them before and they just make him leave and say that I can not kick him out because he has a right to be here because this is his house too because we are married.  Actually it isnt his house it belongs to my brother but the police still say he has a right to be here because we are married.  Ugh...which way do I go??? It was my day off and I walked on eggshells all day.  He did not utter a word, neither did I...until later on and he said "I am not taking all the blame for this" very typical for him.  Never takes ownership...Ugh...confused...
