I'm really sorry, because this is truly awful. I can imagine, I have a big imagination. I would not be able to handle that at all.
What can you do to help yourself out here? Do you think he will change? It doesn't sound like he thinks he has any problems. You deserve to have a relationship that is caring, respectful, and compassionate, with understanding. Why do people treat the person they are supposed to love the most, the worst? That's not love.
If you want better for yourself, and you do deserve better than this, if he isn't willing to do or be that, then you have to decide. Do you want it to always be like this, or not. Because some people will not change.

All of those things can be said for him - he deserves a relationship with someone who is caring, respectful and compassionate. During an up or down, I am none of those things to him, but the thing is, I have no way to control it. I take my meds religiously, I don't drink or do drugs, I try to eat right, I have cut almost all junk food out of my diet, I try to get enough sleep....Basically, I am trying to do everything possible to improve my situation, but I still have cycles. They have been more far and few between since my med change, but they are still there.
My husband acts angry and bitter all the time because he says he feels like he is living like a single man because he gets no support from me. His mom is unmedicated Bipolar, so he has to live with the person who made his life a living hell while he was growing up all over again.
I don't think he is willing or able to change how he views me and this illness.
