I have been married for ten years to a man that is both bipolor and poly-substance abuser. I am at a point where I can't deal with all this anymore. about 6 months ago, he decided to stop takin his paxil and depecote, he has been taking these for years. He swears he feels better. But I am getting the worst of his mood swings. He is hateful, angry, self-centered, and the list goes on.
He doesn't go to AA or to a therapist, and thinks he is just fine. I have seen this complacency about his sobriety before. (but he is usually on meds). Lets just say I know him more as being drunk than sober. So is attitude of his a combination of no meds, and being sober?? He just seems uptight and on edge around me. He seems fine around others, but so hateful to me....
Is this how its always going to be? If so I can't deal with this anymore....
I have stood by him for so long, the lost jobs, the empting out of the bank account, the drugs, the alcohol, the women....And all this time, I have been losing sight of what I need and what my kids really need. I am depressed and lonely and miserable.
