About Me



At my house. I was selling some of my first husbands things and he came by to purchase . We had went to the same high school.        


Good. He stated I was the best wife he could imagine. But soon his mania kicked in and it was down hill from there. He started using drugs and drinking heavy plus he would not keep a job.    


When I was crying on the phone to his mother and she said..it sounds like he is manic. I said he is what? At that point I found out he had bipolar disorder.


I researched the illness and tried to help. I wanted to help him thru things. But I was told I was diagnosing him and I needed to stay out of it.    


Making the decision was the hardest thing  > I still cared for him but knew that with him not dealing with his illness, not doing what he was told by counselors and his mothers influence in his life, that things would not work with us.  


Hang in there , it will get easier. Take care of yourself and take your time before getting involved with someone else. Do not change yourself for anyone..if being with that person requires changing who you are, then end the relationship. This doesn't mean do not compromise , because every relationship is about that , but don't give up the person you are. You won't be happy. Be yourself..be real and be honest!
Don't involve the intimacy factor to soon. It clouds our judgement.
