Story

Your story is very simular to mine. My wife was dianosed w/Bi-polar on the year 2000. I'll try to make my story as short as possible. It would take a Book to explain everything my family has gone through. I hope my story can you or anybody else out there that is feeling the pain and sadness with this illness. Since my wife was dianosed w/Bi-polar she to has had many outbursts of anger,physical abuse towards me, yes me a man. All I can do is try to stop her from hitting me. She has attempted killing herself at three times when she saw I have had enough of this abuse. At one point, I had actually filed for divorce was just about to go through it when my wife begged me to drop the divorce. She promised me she would changed. The divorce filing began in 2002. At the end of 2002 the divorce was dropped.My wife changed for about three months and then began again with her outburst of angry, breaking things in the house but does not attack me. Like yourself, I have three kids of my own. All are doing well in school. My kids are frustrated at there mother and question why she choses to behave the way she does. I must say this about Bi-polar. Yes , it is a desiese but in my wife case , she can control herself to a point. The anger she expresses is only to me and my kids. Today, are finances are very tight! There is no help out there when it comes to getting help for this, unless you make a lot of money. I work hard and make a decent $$. But I cannot afford or do not qaulufy for any kind of aid. Today, I want to file for a divorce because I cannot deal with this anymore. I to take pills for anixety since 2002. I basicly just get dizzy when the pressure of work and the crazyness of my wife is at max. My doctor told me in a kidding kind of way I should get rid of problem that causing me so much stress9 meaning my wife). Divorce is so expensive and now I want to file but cannot afford to. The pain is so great. I don't even know what a nice marriage is suppose to be. I find myself talking to other women, just so I can know what it is like to go out and just have a normal conversation. With anyone who is bi-polar, you can't have normal conversations, you can't go out to dinner or even see a movie. So I know how you feel. Your not alone.!!!
