Hi heartbroken. I went through the same thing with my ex-fiance last month. He's a veteran who's bipolar, clinically depressed, and has PTSD. I tried to stick it out with him however I reached my limit when he tried to put his illnesses on me. He said and did hurtful things to me. His mother was and is enabling his negative behavior. His father is bipolar and was the only one cordial to me when my fiance was really negative towards to me. I loved him and didnt care what illnesses he had however when it got to the extreme and started to affect my mental well-being and he was down right nasty - that was it. Yes it hurts and it will take time to heal. I came here for help and to understand what was going on, and got it and the support. I even went to a therapist because I was at my wit's end. The people here and my therapist helped me thru it. Stay strong and keep visiting here because there are great people here who will support you and give you great insight. My prayers are with you.
