Lara....I too am bipolar....as Slothrop said we all go through periods when it is hard to tell the "legitimate feelins from the emotional distortions". Just prior to my diagnosis, I now know that I was rapid cycling for months and months and during this periiod, I convinced myself that my 32 yr long marriage was unhappy, unfulfilling and empty...I had an affair and my husband found out about it....while I might add, I was in the "hospital". He told me then and there that I had betrayed his trust and was seeking divorce. He couldn't see that the behavior was totally out of character for me...that in a "normal" situation that I would never have done that....no second chances in other words. After a month in the hospital, I saw my feelings and actions prior to the hospital and diagnosis for what they really were but it was too late.
I guess I'm just trying to say....it's a hard row you tole and I hope you can continue to be this understanding and I hope you have forgiveness in your heart...it will take both.
