Hi folks. I have been married 10 years and in a relationship with this man for over 24 (Highschool sweethearts). He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (unspecified) over 5 years ago after some unpleasant events. Long story short (and by no means unique) its been a rough 5 years. There has been brief periods of stability but a majority of the time things have been bad and back in August he left and moved in with a married woman (not his first affair but definitely the first "relationship" affair). Anyway, I feel like I am going nutz some days. There has been little to no contact. I have informed his family of everythinhg going on as some were unaware of his condition. The tough part is that although they listen and are never openly rude I always feel like they don't believe anything I tell them. I called them today to give them a heads up regarding his spending in the event he comes to them for money (he has run up 22k in credit card debt in 2 months on top of withdrawing money from out joint account...yes I did remove most of that money when he left back in August)and it was like they were just trying to humor me. He is highly functional and as he isn't around his family often, they don't see the changes. In speaking with his mom, she said she spoke with him and he told her he was taking his meds and seeing his doc and of course she took him at his word. Hello, does the actions of your son over the past few months not dictate that he has a problem. I'm just beaten up, obviously heartbroken and need to hear from others with similar experiences. Of course, insight from those with BP is also most welcome. Post edited by: ezevans, at: 11/26/2007 20:51 |
