Whenever we would discuss moving to an area that would provide a position for him that he would be happier in so I could find a good job he would always end up saying we can't ever move due to my bipolar. He'll need someone to help with the kids, they might need to stay with my parents, etc. etc. etc.

Well, he interviewed for a position at work today that quite possibly may include a move to Washington DC in two years. Now that it's something that will benefit him career wise my bipolar isn't an issue. It's not even something that needs to be considered. I'm glad he's probably going to get the position--it will include a big pay increase, a bonus, an office of his own and, most importantly, him being much happier at work. However, it does piss me off that when a move would benefit me career wise he wouldn't consider it because I'm bipolar. Now that it will benefit him the bipolar isn't even remotely an issue.

In a way all of this is pretty amusing considering he asked me if it's very likely that I'll get as psychotic as my great great aunt and great great grandmother did. He also said that he's going to have to take into serious consideration the possibility that I may end up being permanatly committed at some point like they were. Now that this position is available it doesn't matter. I guess concerns like that can be a matter of convenience.
