I did tell him that if he didnt recieve help then yes I will have to leave and I will follow through with it. I left an 11 year marriage...I can leave a 4 year relationship...lol...I just know that if he does get the help he needs he will be as happy as I am. He is 48 years old now and thinks he has been bi-polar since he was 15...interesting...
Thanks again for all you stories..they really meant alot to me to know that someone else is or has lived through this...

I am so glad he has decided to go for help. They are still trying to regulate my husbands meds. He seems to be doin OK with the dose she has him on now but, he still (from time to time) have and episode. I can usually see them coming. If this happens I just tell him that he needs to tell his therapist, which he usually does. There is a wonderful site (forum) that I found called finding the light (if you are interested let me know and I will post it for you). Most of the people on there have some sort of a dis-order but, anyone that is dealing with someone with a disorder would find it comforting..I know that I did. I spoke with people that are either going through what I am and giving me support and hope. I pray all goes well for you. I know it isn't going to be an easy road for you.
