Thanks, I did go to the appointment with him. I tried not to "vent" (although that was very tempting). I did give a couple examples, one recent and one from 20 years ago, to show that this behavior is not recent and that he's been having manic phases for years, and not just as a side effect of depression medication. I think the doctor gets it and he has requested that I attend his next appointment with him as well.
Thanks again for your support!

I would be furious if my husband spent a bunch of money on some coworkers kids and then said 'it not me, it's you' after I confronted him about it.
You need to protect yourself, your kids, and your money. He may be sick but that's no excuse to put you down.
