Quote From: janejrI RARELY have blamed my bipolar II for ANYTHING. I have actually told my husband, hey sometimes I'm just a bitch... lol
He, on the other hand, has been known to blame my "illness", though completely under control with meds, and never severe, for HIS shortcomings - as in, I wouldn't be so upset that he lies to me or is mean to me if it weren't for my "fragile" state.... argh! But that is another show...... :)
I understand that. Now that I am divorced, I am very careful when I meet new people to not share some of the challenges I face due to the head-injury I had years ago. It is too easy for the other person to hold/use it against me or use it as an excuse for their abusive behavior.
I remember my first husband used to tell me that I was taking it too personal... how else is there to take it??
