I was married for three years to Brian. Throughout our marriage there were many problems. My ex-husband could never seem to keep a job. In the three years, we were married he had about 12 different jobs. He would also hide it from me when he would quit his job. It caused us both a lot of financial hardships.
Brian would also drink very heavily, and many times he would be verbally and physically abusive toward me. I truly feared him, and perhaps I still do. Brian also spent thousands of dollars that we did not have on gambling. It really got to be an unbearable life.
We have a young son together, and he would take off a week at a time and leave me and our son alone.
I started to have panic attacks and have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder which I am still being treated for.
I divorced Brian about nine months ago, and my life has been much better. However, Brian is still suffering with bipolar disorder. He was diagnosed with it a year ago. He tries to convince me that he is better now, and that he doesn't need his medication anymore. He has left threatening messages at my work, and has been verbally abusive with me in front of our son. I deal with these problems well now, but I worry about my son, and I still fear Brian.
I wish that Brian could get well and be a good father for my son's sake. This illness is very devastating, and it is hard for me sometimes to realize that it is an illness. I am determined to be more educated about bipolar for my son's sake and my own sanity. I can't make Brian get better, but I can help me and my son deal with it. Thank you for this web site. It is helping me understand bipolar better. Thank you!
