I know what you mean kadesgirl. My man finally left me for the sake of his own physical and mental health. Since then he has become more supportive. A lot had to do with him finally reading some of the literature I was putting in his face so he could see it was just me. Now he sees my bipolar in the same light as his diabetes. It is a decease that needs to be managed but unlike diabetes the management isn't as clear cut. One can't just measure there blood sugar and take an exact dose of something to stablize the symptoms. It more complicated and hit and miss than that.

I hope your husband can appreciate the complexities and learn about BP so he can understand rather than complain. It is so important to have a loved one in your corner. My man may not be able to live with me but he has become my biggest source of support. He is really the only one in my life that gets it and I am really grateful to him for that.

Information is power. See if he won't take the time to become better informed. Hopefully that will help you both.

Take care

yeah right... he is sick of hearing anything about bipolar... ecsp this web site... if he finds me on it again im in BIG trouble... lol ... but that island sounds nice
