Good for you! Take action...you don't have to be a victim living with bi-polar.

It requires proper treatment, and no one has the right to affect what you need to be doing for yourself. You have to care about you...and your children.

You're not responsible for your husband cheating on you, especially with your best friend...someone you tried to help. They made that choice on their own. 

You're the strong one...your husband gave in to his weaknesses, when you were down and out, and you recovered to rise above all of it. You have shown you don't need him or anyone like him in your life.

Stay on your meds...bi-polar is a chronic mental illness...through no fault of yours, what-so-ever. It's like any other chronic illness, it needs treatment for you to be able to function properly to maintain your independence and quality of life.  Keep moving forward.
