I *do* hope you are able to eventually extricate yourself from this abusive relationship, both for your sake and that of your child.
I don't think his behavior is necessarily related to bipolar (how was he diagnosed, by the way, is it a sure thing?). I do not think he is beating on you and manipulating you, etc. because he is bipolar. Maybe he is antisocial. But whatever label he has given himself *is no excuse* for his behavior.
Please try to think of him as someone with *no* diagnosis. None. He is responsible for this behavior and it is up to him to do something about it. His diagnosis(es) don't matter, his behavior does, and your safety and wellbeing does. I hope you keep you and your child safe, as best you can.
