Story

I met Daniel in October of 2003. I would have never known that he was bi-polar if he hadn't told me. Since we met in the last 3 months things have gotten so bad. He used to be agreat guy and in fact still is until his mood changes. He will not get help as far as his medication he is convinced there is nothing wrong with him and everything id my fault. Although he is not physically abusive to me he is verbally at times, but doesn't remember it the next day. This is very frustrating because you hate to leave someone for this ,but then realize that you can't help them if they are not willing to help themselves. I do not fear him, I believe he is completely harmless. At times i feel like i could physically harm him because of his attitude and that nothing is his fault. This disease is really a challenge on a relationship.
