divorce and bipolar disorder

I would really appreciate any advice from people on this forum:

I was married to my husband for a little over a year. We fell in love and got married quickly, and right before our marriage I realized that he had serious PTSD from trauma he said he experienced when he was a child, and later as a refugee in another country. When I tried to bring up PTSD with him, he would say he didn't have it and has never been diagnosed.

After around half a year of marriage, he said he thought I needed help and that I should see a therapist. Prior to this, there were two episodes where my husband "flipped' and became someone I didn't recognize: he accused me once of trying to plot his assassination, and the second time of trying to attack his daughter. A couple days after I started therapy, my husband asked for a divorce on New Years Eve (we were in the middle of a perfect evening....). Following this event, I brought him to my therapist where he brought out a list of 200 things he said he disliked about me. At the end, my therapist took me aside and suggested my husband was untreated and bipolar.

For the next months, my husband would cycle in and out of good moods but overall we were both very happy, and very in love. However, I felt myself withdrawing from him because I felt that I couldn't trust him due to his erratic behavior and temper. After the start of the new year, and because my husband saying he was unhappy in the city, we bought a house in the country to move to from which I would commute. After we bought the house, he said he didn't like this country, so I asked for a transfer from my work which was approved. Immediately after, One evening, I came home on Friday looking forward to spending the weekend together and to leaving on a trip for his birthday and he asked for a divorce, had packed his boxes and put the rest in storage, and bought a plane ticket back to where his friends were (another country).

He left saying "I can't wait to divorce your ass," and in the days leading up to him leaving had several episodes where he became very violent. Everytime I asked him about the therapy he was getting, he said he was fine, that it was me who was sick and needed help.

So here I am: almost one month ago, he packs up and leaves me in ruin after our joint commitments, empties out the bank account, and no news.

He criticized me and said I never did anything for the relationship, that I have other priorities, that I am not generous, that I do not care for him. I don't know what to think: part of me (I am under 30, he is over 40, this is his third marriage) feels like a failure. And part of me is in absolute shock. My therapist says it is a gift my husband up and left as he does not recognize he is bipolar and refuses treatment and has saved me from that struggle.

Please, does this resonate with anyone? Any advice?

I'm sorry , but it's genetic nailed it on the head. He is the Poster child for how bad we can be. Be warned, he may be gone now but he might try and charm his way back into your life. Rest assured treated we can live successful lives. But he would have to own his desease, and right now it owns him completely.

Protect yourself first, get help, and try and heal.

Good luck
