If he had, or would come to seek any understanding of your mi's, communication could turn for the better. Each of you could pinpoint what sets the other off, in order to create a more peaceful/calm/tempered environment.

For instance, with bipolar alone, knowing that sleep/rest helps keep you at a level emotional place, he could(referring to your other thread) ease your burden in parenting to let you regroup and feel ok.

Of course, it looks like you are making attempts to understand what you go through yourself. Not everyday will be perfect, but without a stable coparenting situation, how are you expected to have the better days that offset the off days?

I went to my first appt w/ my new therapist yesterday, and my bf inquired about going there himself. They gave him a form to fill out, and he is going to make an appt w/ a different therapist. I just hope he follows through. What you said about the ones pointing fingers is so true. And I want some sort of effort made into understanding, because I think that is key, on both of our parts.
