I love my wife of twelve years but fear I have lost her to mania. she has been hospitalized twice in the last three weeks. our insurance does not cover a long stay in a mental ward. I can no longer handle her abusive personality. She is starting to talk to other guys. It feels like this is the end of our relationship. Is there hope? how do I tell the kids mommy can't be fixed?
Try a new doctor, have her see a gp interested in mental health once a week, seek out a social worker for the sake of the family...try a psychologist, join a carers group
At the moment I feel like I should leave the family before I do anymore damage but I am going back to hospital again.
I know you have to be Mum and Dad and your great doing that...tell your wife to stop flirting...that must hurt and feel like a deal breaker.
If being manic is like being psychotic you are not really aware of what the hell your doing.
Kids come first...Mum is sick not broken.
I hope someone with more knowledge replys...your not alone.
Hi Khaz, You're right she is sick and not broken. I realize that I stopped seeing her as a person. I can only see her illness right now. I am reflecting on what made her special to me. I am hoping an extended stay with her favorite sister will releave some stress and allow the madicine to work better. as for you know that your family loves you no matter what! Every family needs a mummy.Hope you feel better soon...
Yes hubby said what attracted me to him was my piano playing...so when mum passed I bought a piano.....now to regain my skills.
One of my children has tricomania, one has an ulcer but by the same token one entered law and one studys teaching....and the youngest is 14.....I have done damage.
wife is still manic
