I have a hard time accepting the notion that she has to take responsibility for her actions. If she was in a totally delusional state, what fault does she have. I guess trying to apply logical reasoning to an illogical situation does not work.

I am sorry for everything you are going through. My husband is bi-polar but thankfully nowhere near as severe as your wife. I do however have a hard time understanding why she shouldn't be held accountable for her actions. Am I wrong in thinking this? I don't mean to be cold, but reading all your posts.. wow... your wife needs serious help, but she needs to take responsibility for what she's done. She shouldn't be sitting on a couch getting stoned with her son if that's the case.

I'm sorry to those with bi-polar if I am coming off as insensitive. Should someone with this disease be able to behave this way without fault? I realize that she is being brought up on charges, but I guess I just have a real hard time understanding.
