Hi new here and just want to introduce myself... landsmommy: I am currently in my second marriage...although it is quickly coming to an end. My husband and I have been married 15 months and we are now seperated for the 2nd time. I cannot deal with him...he is an alcoholic and he is also bipolar. I can deal with the probelms as long as he is being honest with himself and me...but he refuses to do either. I can't stand the lies, and the constant abuse of perscrition meds that he is on for the bipolar. I am frustrated right now because he says that he wants to be with me and the kids...but he is acting very distant...my feeling is that if he really wanted to work things out and he wanted me to come back home, wouldn't he at least call? I still love him...but I love my kids more...and right now I love myself more...I have spent way too much time careing about him more, and he has spent way too much time caring about himself more...now I have to take care of myself because obviously he won't do it.
Anyway...hello
Re:Hi new here and just want to introduce myself... Dunno: Hey there and welcome. Am sorry you are having problems, they sound as though they can be deep. I won't claim to know or understand them but will say we are all here, has helped me I know. Sad the bipolar, I know people who's lives have been really hectic because of it, there are programs and what not to help huh? Perhaps your husband can find help through them? Medications are bad enough without the help of alcohol, am sorry to hear this. Hope you find help and the strength you need to go on.
Re:Hi new here and just want to introduce myself... Thinkin: LandS, Sounds like you have the right idea. you need to worry about yourself and your kids first. If he's not, then you just need to not let him stop you from doing what you need to do for you and your kds. Stay strong and post more often, it will help.
