It was very difficult dealing with her mood swings because it was like my boyfriend had to decided a lot between her and me due to the fact that I was not allowed over there (for no reason practically at all - i didnt do anything wrong and always respected her wishes) a lot of the time. So I truly believe i know where you are coming from what you are saying it is difficult because it truly is. But hang in there hun, stay strong even though its going to be tough sometimes. and I would say give the medication some time and if it doesnt seem to be working go back to the doctor and see if there is something else or some other medication that will work better. If you ever need someone to talk to ill be here for ya. Im not on here all that much but im on YT a lot xliloliverdiorx is my screenname if you want to pm me ever, if not though thats alright too ill keep you in thoughts and prayers.

Thank you very much. I truly appreciate it.

Hi Brenda

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. I have a niece whose husband was diagnosed with being bi polar. They had issues last summer and he came out and told us that he was a drug addict and came to us for help. Apparently my niece wanted a divorce if he was not going to get help. To make a long story short he went into rehab. and is seeing a therapist to help him fight the drug addiction. It s sad for I no longer see him much he works a lot, but we saw him on New Years Eve and he seems like a different person. I guess its the medicine he was so quiet and very much to himself. My nephew I know him over 10 yrs. he was always the life of the party. I found out he was always on drugs it was not his personality we were witnessing. My niece is not one to talk she does not tell us much, when I see her she says he is ok.

Sorry I cannot be of help, this is a tough situation, but Brenda I believe that God carries you through whatever cross you are given. For we all carry a cross at one time or another. Try to be patient and see the therapist for you need to take care of YOU too.

Prayers and hugs sent your way, always feel that you can vent here, we are here for you.

Thank you Gina!
I am glad to hear that your neice's husband realized he had a problem and did something about it. Hubby has always been a hyper person and very social person. He did have a problem with cocaine before we got married. This is my second marriage. We have just been married for 8 yrs, I told him that he had to make a choice...the drug or me...well, he chose me and he hasn't used for over 10 yrs....THANK GOD!! And he KNOWS, as much as it would break my heart, that if he ever started using again that I would leave him. I am 50yrs "young" with 2 beautiful daughters (from a previous marriage) and my oldest is expecting my first grandchild in July...I try to focus on my girls...they don't like what they see and hear him treat me the way he does but, I ask them not to say anything because it would just make my situation worse. I just pray that this medication works......soon!

Thank you for responding and your kind words

Hugs,
Brenda
