I will tell you that my x also tends to get more lucid for short periods after he has been in the hospital because he has been medicated and sleeping. He may even make others think he is ok or doing much better- but I have known him for 20 years, and I can tell that he still has paranoia and delusions. He is just getting smarter when hospitalized and knows to tell them he has a stable living plan or will be med compliant. Our situation has been extreme for the past...

I am sorry that you are going through this. I lost all my goals because of the stress of dealing with my ex. I had previous gone through a divorce(non bp husband) and started living on my own after living with my parents. I was back in school and had a job to hold me over. I also have two kids.

My bf has done back and forth like that plenty of times. It's confusing as hell and I never knew what to believe. It got to a point that I thought it was all an act when he said sorry and stopped excepting his apologies. He has called me names, cut me off when I've been speaking and told me to stop talking to him because he couldn't take the talking and questions anymore.

Dealing with a drunk, chain smoking bipolar husband while pregnant and trying to reign in my 4 year old was the hardest thing I've ever done. Talking to him, begging him to stop, all just ended in him insisting I didn't appreciate him. And then he'd drink more. I never felt so abandoned. It's worse when you're pregnant, because yo...
