There's that old saying: The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

I got married young and now have a son (who I love more than anything). But I'm going to be blunt - I'm miserable. I can't remember the last time I've had any physical affection. My wife doesn't seem to understand my bipolar. I feel alone. I feel like I'm always being talked down to & treated like a kid. I get yelled at for small things most people wouldn't even care about. I could go on but I don't want to make anyone even more depressed.

I also take care of my son full time b/c my wife works. This is more than challenging at times when you have bp.

Even if I wanted to be single again, I don't know how I'd support myself. I've always had problems holding jobs. The last one I had before my son was born was at a bookstore, then it closed.

Right now I'd love to be alone.
