Bipolar was a large part of the destruction of my first marriage. I left her and our son. This was all fueled by mania and alcoholism. Years later, we're all friends as we have both remarried with more compatible people, and share in the joy of raising our son - the four of us.

So much focus seems to be on fear of partners leaving the person Dx'd Bipolar. When in some cases, the mania and self destruction lead us away.

Thanks,
