Hello group this is my first time ever registering on a support forum for issue dealing with bipolar and my wife.
On Sunday night: my wife, son and myself were doing laundry down stairs. Our 6 year old son kept opening the washing machine. We spoke asked him to stop, and he did. After about 30 minutes, he started doing it again. I pulled him to the side and firmly told him to stop, then I took him out for timeout. My wife comes out and says " Why do you always seem angry?" " Aren't you ever happy?". I did not say anything, because I did not want to start an argument. She then sat down quietly. Once I was done with timeout for my son, we came to her. At this point she gets up with out saying a word and begins to go back in the building. My sons is calling for her "mom"? She ignores him. We get upstairs, I see her sitting in the dinner room table with all her meds out. Her left leg is very anxious at this point. I take my son to his room, then we I come out to talk to her, I hear a knock at the door. It is the fire rescue EMT's. I don't know what is gonig on at this point. They tell me that she called 911. Then 30 minutes later, I open the door to officers. Apparently, my wife called 911 to informed them that she was having an anxiety attack and that me and my step-daughter were fighting..etc. The EMT's did their job, but could not take her anywhere. There is a mental health clinic that takes in folks at 11pm, but they have to bacaracted. She did not want that option. My wife began to say that she has had enough with the arguing of my step-daughter and I. A little history, my 18 year old step-daughter and I don't get along now a days. Simple things become a huge deal. The officers spoke to all of us. After they left, I did the stupid thing of actually trying to talk to my step-daughter in the room away from her mom. While, in the room I began to start and she began to scream at me. 10 minutes of that cause my wife to come in to the room and see me as the aggresor, even though I was speak with my step-daughter and not screaming at her. At this point, my wife said you need to get the "f.. out of this house". I was not trying to cause more problems. Her daughter was screaming at me, while I just took that abuse. I was up against the wall. The daughter got some heat as well, she to argues with her mom, disrespects her and slacks off big time with chores. I try to maintenance order in my house knowing my wife conditions, but something the good, turns out bad.
Long story short my wife did not want for us to be together anymore, tired of everything. This trigger effect it very real. My wife is currently staying with her sister. I'm alone in the apartment. I don't want my marriage to end. I have been with my wife 11 years, married 5.
