Good luck to you, but if he has a lucid moment, were I you, I'd give him an ultimatum. Medical supervision, or you're out. Sorry to sound harsh about it, but you don't want to end up like one of my sister's husband's relatives. Hitch |

My ex-wife was BP, and when she was finally diagnosed back in the early eighties and began lithium my life got hugely better. Before that I would literally throw a shoe in the door when I got home to see how things were going down.
I understand that there are much better meds today, but lithium worked for Judy. From experience, I strongly recommend you exert any influence you have to get hubby diagnosed and treated. |

You can't blame people with BP, but you do have to medicate them. My (other side of the family) brother in law's dad was BP...right up until he killed himself, at about the age I am now. It started to be obviously a problem, in his 30's, and it just went badly, badly downhill from there. I won't torture you with tales of what wives of BP men have been through in physical attacks during manic epis. Get him diagnosed and get him on meds, for your own sake. Good luck. Hitch |

We've reached a compromise. The latch is back on but we've shorten it so the door now closes but doesn't latch so he doesn't have to touch the doorknob.
I do know it can get worse with age but until he is ready or does something more serious then nothing is going to make him see he has a problem. Right now things are going good. He's kept this job for two months. He works four days. They are ten hour shifts and he gets to sit down while putting various plastic into machines. It pays peanuts but it's at his stress level so it's a good fit. I can handle a little irrational from him as long as it's not dangerous to either one of us or others plus he keeps working.

When our lawyer was on vacation last week the judge reacted to our letter. I hadn't expected it to be so soon. My uncle doesn't get a chance to react to the allegations and observations that were made in the letter. We were afraid he would be allowed to. And that the judge will make his decision on September 13. My uncle and father don't have to go in person, like our lawyer thought might be wanted.
On the one hand I'm relieved that after four years of stress and three and a half years of legal battle an important decision will be made. On the other hand the decision might not be in our advantage, though we can always appeal. And, of course, if it is in our favour my uncle can appeal. Though earlier this year this judge ruled that everyone has to pay for their own legal cost, my uncle is still resisting and trying to have my grandmother's estate pay for his lawyer. Mind you, that the court says a ruling will be made on September 13 doesn't mean it will. It has happened several times before that a ruling was delayed. One kept being delayed for over six months before a decision was finally made. One positive outcome is that I can finally book my trip to the UK now that my father doesn't have to go to court. However, the next three weeks, if not longer, will be tense. Just the thought of that exhausts me. |

I feel for you and your husband. That is hard. My aunt is, I believe one psych Dr. said, "paranoid schizophrenic affective disorder." This was not helped by marrying an alcoholic Dr. when she was 19 and then going through a divorce from him after their kids were grown. This was really hard on my grandmother and Mom. Mom stopped talking to/dealing with her sister a long time ago.

Hubby refuses to believe his parents are bipolar. He gets upset when I mention it. They are misdiagnosed is truly what he believes. It's...sad. Sent from my XT1528 |

I can't be around her. I love her dearly but she's just exhausting. She talks constantly. During Larry's funeral she kept turning around every ten seconds looking at me, freaking out the people sitting behind me. My father is a sociopath and a very evil person. I don't associate with him. Hubby's parents are normal to me compared to my own. I live with the stigma of being their daughter. When people around here find out I'm immediately treated badly or suspiciously.
