Welcome bipolarpartner. I agree with Farmer that no one has the right to mistreat their partner. If you both truly want to make it work I would suggest not moving back in together and start going to couples therapy. I would suggest both individual counseling for you and him. This illness is manageable, but it takes effort on the person's part. If your boyfriend isn't willing to manage the illness I don't think it would be a healthy situation for you or your daughter.

The book in my signature is for significant others/family members and is excellent.
