My husband is an abuser. I feel his untreated bipolar disorder is the main cause of his mood swings and his anger. We are both getting separate counseling for this and will begin marriage counseling once we have completed the program we are in for batterers and their victims. I will do anything it takes to see that smile on his face and in his heart that I have seen before. We have just begun learning how to effectively communicate, which is going well. We have both read "The Five Love Languages" which has helped us recognize the way we both perceive and give love. We were totally off on this and are learning how to speak in the languages we recognize. Thanks for your comments and help.
