That sounds so difficult to handle your partner's reaction @kittlesonhr - sorry to hear they could not handle the mental illness or its results. Some people just do not know how to handle it. That is sad.

I have had to have some self compassion for myself. I did things that I would not have done if I had been totally balanced and not in pain. That is not an excuse but I was a victim of mental illness too. I want to avoid victim blaming myself. I am willing to make a new start.

Hope you get the support to help you get through this difficult time.
