hi jolet
Quote From: jolet68 I can relate to your situation. I was diagnosed with bi-polar in 2000. I have been suffering from depression for over 12 years now. It went to the "next level" when my mother died. She was given six months and died nine days later.
To make matters worse my husband told me four months after she died (two weeks before christmas) that he was leaving me for another woman that he met online. I tried to commit suicide and that is how I was diagnosed with bi-polar. My husband did leave but came back two months later. He was always verbally and mentally abusive to me but after the seperation the abuse turned physical. He came after me once with a box cutter in front of our oldest son. That is when I decided enough was enough so I left him.
You don't deserve to be abused. If he continues get out and don't look back. No woman deserves to be abused by her husband in any manner. hi jolet, i myself am not the one with the disorder, my older sister is(she was just diagnosed) She has struggled with severe problems for many years, but one of them is not that her husband abuses her(except she does not like him to drink as much as he does) in fact with her mental state its her who abuses him , not phisically but very much so mentally(out of her control) He has stuck with her thru this and is begging her to accept this situation and get help. It hasn't been easy on him and i can see him starting to weakin. You must have been thru hell yourself, but i am glad to hear that you gained some strength and got away from the abuse. After all you must live with abuse within yourself every day. I know that it must be tough raising your kids on your own(I know all about that, i did that also) . Thxs for responding jolet, these last few days i have needed to vent alot and there is more to come, so im sure you'll see me on here alot. I wish my sister had a computer so she could check this message board out. I myself think its nice! Hope u all have a good day................ patty
