Hi iamfred2

In response to one of your questions, I think it's absolutely normal to be confused and conflicted at the possibility of ending a long-term relationship, bipolar or not. There's the loss of partnership, security, loss of dreams you had for the future. And just because something might be the right thing to do doesn't make it easy!

It's interesting to me that you say you don't want to leave, or hurt, "anyone". Instead of K. Know what I mean?

Anyway yeah definitely you have to take care of yourself, because your child needs you. Good luck. Do whatever you have to do.
