Hi, I'm new to this forum and nt very good with computers. thought I'd posted a reply but it's disappeared?
My husband is Bipolar 2 and we've been together for 12 years (married for 5).
He retired 13mths ago ad since then alcohol doesn't mix well with his Meds since he's gotten older and a little causes him to become verbally abusive and sleep for hours.
I try to hide this from the world but it's becoming increasingly difficult as I have medical issues requiring hospital treatment and test and the stress of my husband has brought back ME which I managed to overcome 20yrs ago.
I need a support system but he has never told anyone aprt from our respective grown up children of whom none live near enough to offer support. they also don't know of the extent of his recent problems.
As his profession was in the medical world he won't get help but does take his meds regularly. It's just his abuse f alcohol that he/I can't cope ith anymore!
