 My husband is in an eposide and of course he don't think he is He doesn't have a problem and never doesn anything wrong. He did all this last year when he left and now we are back doing it again. My kids and i can't take this up and down roller coaster all we want is him home and back with us. No one will help me and i cant get him to see what he is doing at all.

 And exactly WHY do you want him back????? If he has done this before, why are you willing to put your children through it again? You are an adult, let happen to you whatever you like, but those kids don't have a choice or say. They depend on you for stability. How are you providing that by staying in this kind of unhealthy relationship? You're teaching the boys it's OK to abandon your family, you're teaching the girls to set back and take whatever a selfish man hands to them....Get a lawyer, get rid of the bum, and give your kids some happy childhood memories!

I am 58 have had bipolar disease all my life and this is unacceptable behavior. Period!

 Raydar...is your husband on meds. and has he been taking them? Also, does he drink alcohol, do drugs or anything like that to self medicate?

 No alcohol or drugs just his prescriptions, Since they added the ocd he has been having these blow ups and very irrational and the next minute he is fine He had no reason to leave he just woke up and said he was leaving. He tells his doc he is fine and don't tell him that he has these outburts. I can't talk to the doctor he wont sign a realese for me too.

 In the grips of a mania..if that is what he is going through, people do things like this. Unfortunately, it creats havoc in the family. You have yourself and your kids to think of in this situation. Does he support you financially? If he is the sole bread-winner in the household he is going to have to support you and the children. Take stock of your financial situation. I know that sounds cold, but, you might have to do the thinking for the family for a while. That means taking stock of your financial situation and making plans to be able to pay the bills in the event he stays gone.

The first time he left and came back was there an agreement between you two on the consequenses of him leaving again?

 Being his wife is there anything legal I can do? He isn't in his right mind. By all means. I can't talk to him about the bipolar or the meds. He don't have a problem says it is me. He talks about things that never happened. Make things up all the time. And he shouldn't be working midnights it messes him up bad. and I dont know what to do. I feel I should be apart of the medicines and doctors since i live with him what do they know.

 He said he was sorry and felt so bad that he put us through that and he would never do it again. He is sole bread winner. I have my own health issues but i am going to have to get a job so I can support my kids and myself. When he left last year he called the police on me and said I was harrassing him and I wasn't and he brought the police here to get his things. and he filed for divorce and closed out accounts all inone day. So I don't know what he is going to do.

 If by legal do you mean getting him medical help? In the event he is a danger to himself and others you can get some help. It is hard to do if he is just irrational. He must want the help in order to go to a hospital.

Since he is seeing a doctor he is attempting to get help...I don't know why but, it seems something is missing here. Where is he staying?

 well I don't like what he is doing at all. I do love him he is a very hardworking man and I see the pattern when he works the hours he shouldn't.And how it affects his mind. He loves us and his children.I just don't know how to help him come out of it.

 He went to stay with a friend at work. Last time he stayed at work and slept in the locker room He works at the wastewater plant so that was really bad to sleep there. He is in the mode of not accepting the bipolar he thought oh I take my meds and I am fine forever. No therapy nothing.
