My husband is a busy professional who has no understanding for mental health issues. He believes therapists are fraudulent andvshouldnt get paid. Hence I’m not allowed to see one. He will pay for psychiatry but complains about this.

Last night, he noticed something bothering me. I finally told him I was upset about being labeled bipolar 1 from bipolar 2. He asked why the change and I said I’d had some very delusional thinking. He asked if it was the witch thing and I said yes. He said he’d had a weird feeling about my behavior: witchy clothes and shoes, setting up an alter in my office, believing I was the most powerful witch on the planet, etc.

I thought he was being understanding. After watching a movie downstairs with the kids, he started making fun of me : “go get your mom’s broom (I have a witches broom) so she can ride her broom up the stairs tonight. She is a witch. “. My kids wanted to know what he was talking about. I feel so humiliated.
