Agree it's not easy.

As James mentioned, if she truly is bipolar then she doesn't have a clue what she's doing. I've seen some crazy 180's made by bipolar people that make me shake my head. It's almost like two completely different people without the realization that it is ocurring.

Keeping calm and realizing she has a problem is step 1. Get her help and then life will be normal.

We also have two kids and I will be the first to admit it's not easy but it is rewarding. Finding the time to do it all, that's the really hard part.

Good luck with whatever you decide and most importantly don't be rash with your decisions.

James makes a great point. I have known more than one woman (several actually) who were ruining their marriages with this type of behavior and turned it around with proper medication.. My brother had actually seperated and filed for divorce, dumped his toys, split the **** and went through bankruptsy.

She found the right doctor, got on meds. and once again became the girl he had originally married. They reunited and have had a great marriage for the last 15 years.

My ex-gf was bipolar. She threw a phone at me once and didn't even remember doing it. Living with a person with bipolar is difficult.

Harsh, but true. Saying or thinking something is so will usually make it such - whether it was or not in the first place.

Dave,

Sell her to one of the motorcycle gangs down there. They know how to handle women.

Charley are we related? Because you just described my brother's life to a 'T'. Married, beyond difficult times, ugly divorce that was a big wakeup call, they BOTH made adjustments, and happily remarried. I love my sister-in-law, she's a wonderful woman. For some reason this particular disorder has popped up several times in my life and has affected people I care deeply about. It CAN be treated and life CAN be wonderful again, but it takes care and discipline from BOTH parties - the one with the difficulty and the enabler.

Treating symptoms will just cause even greater bitterness down the road. Please don't do that. Take care of the core problem.
