Warning woke up in a bad mood...
Okay,
SSI- Social security for low income people that can not work.
I mentioned ala-non for your wife because she will not participate in traditional therapy. At least she'd have others support to help with her feelings. How she gets her support is not up to you and she may find it helpful, if she is not offended by it. Others may tell her to go to therapy there. She sounds more willing to listen to others then to you currently.
I have to say I was surprised my post sounded god-centered to you. I am sorry if I offended, I have never had "god-centered" put as an adjective to describe me.
Your Description of Therapy as attending, compliment and the therapist being okay to me sounds court appointed and useless. You need to find a place that you can trust.

Okay so after reading what you have posted to others. I get the impression you have not know your therapist for long enough or your just not connecting. Therapy seems to work in a sneaky way that one day you look back and realize you have been making better decisions.
Your wife may not have had enough time to adjust or she may be petrified of you getting better. You can't force her to get help and it can be scary to watch a loved one get better. When you feel your at a stand still. Also the fear of you "slipping" may make her not want to get her hopes up.
As you get to know me you'll realize I will suggest things based on the post and what I know about the person rather than what I would do for myself. I fully believe in mental health situations everyone in the family needs a therapist as well as a joint therapist. I would have suggested your son see a therapist but your's sounded court ordered and your wife seems against it.
BP has a high rate of non-med compliance so generally professionals will tell you it's your recovery due as you wish but their suggestion is X. If anyone is going to call to check up it's the therapist if you are still their client. It shouldn't be taken personal but pdocs tend to sit back and wait so there's less non-compliance in the end. There are several people here that are un-medicated. I can't be unmedicated and face consequences even when attempting. The above post was constructed after 2 days unmedicated. Sorry for the disjointedness. I'll try better next time.
