I don't have any support system. My mother and sister do not speak to me and my father and step father are dead. I lost all of my friends in the divorce. He has been helping me from time to time. Is adultery something that cannot be forgiven? I didn't do it just to have a good time. I have unresolved issues from my childhood sexual abuse by multiple men and a mother who did not love me and blamed me for the abuse. I am trying to work through my issues and am currently taking multiple antipsychotics and antidepressants.
If you werent dx'd by a mental health expert then how do you know you have bipolar? I am not doubting your experience or that it was manic I am just curious. For many people infidelity is unforgiveable. The reasons behind our mistakes help us understand ourselves and our motivations but it does not require the people that we hurt to understand or forgive our mistakes. You many very well have cheated due to the things that were mentioned but you still made the mistakes cheating. Knowing the reasons why can help some people reconcile but at the same time it doesnt require them to forgive.
