I've read these boards for a while and all of you seem like such nice
people that I wanna join. I guess I will introduce myself...as my name
implies I'm a nutty mom and I have 3 kidz...11,5,3. I am married to a
bipolar a**hole...but I am sure you don't want to hear about all of that
so....I'm pretty much a fun loving, humorous, intelligent person,
counting the days until my youngest is in school and I can start my life
again. Not that my kidz aren't my life, they are, I just mean I want to
leave where I am and start over with them...not another state or
anything, just the <strike> HELL ON EARTH </strike> home I am currently
residing.

Well, HELLO and welcome to the site!

Its a pretty good place and MOST of the people are real nice and
friendly.

especially me lol

We are incredible,, Welcome to JSH

Welcome you picked a great sight to join.

I am sure if people on this sight can tolerate me they can handle
anything...lol. But yes welcome I am sure you will fit in just fine.

Thanks for all the welcomes!! Maybe I will just jot down how my life is
going...any prayers, good thoughts or advice will be appreciated...this
is a little insight on what my life is like at the present..sorry if
it's a downer..

Living with someone with bi-polar is hell...
Living with someone who will not take their meds is something worse than
hell...
Hmm....eternal torment, wailing and gnashing of teeth....I am sure
there is something worse than hell...wait...I have it...living with
someone
that will not take their meds is it....Eureka!!! Living with someone
that does not take their meds...and is verbally abusive is not a fun way
to live....
Being called lazy and stupid can really break a person down...
it can make a person start believing it....It may make a person take too
many pills, and then try to drive and this person may wreck their
car...and not have full coverage insurance....Thus, it is not
covered....This can make the bipolar person's abuse increase...not
physically, only verbally....Verbal abuse is still abuse....bruises,
broken bones and the like can heal...the pain can end...
Living with the hurtful words is something that you carry with
you....every day....all day....As long as it is only directed at you and
not the kidz you feel you can deal with it....You can't.....you'll
either believe you are worthless, sink into depression and perhaps kill
yourself. I did the first two....maybe I tried the latter.....OR....you
can choose to stop living like a victim....reclaim your life and start
believing in yourself again.....realize that the bipolar person would
not have jack-crap without you....the bipolar person in my life will
take his medicine as long as it is doled out to him like a child....or a
patient in a mental institution....so....I decided to dole out the
medication....and make sure he takes it.....it makes him
sleepy....so....Thursday night he got it at 7:30pm....Friday it was
given at 6:30 pm....tonight he made it until 8:30pm until he got the
magic pills....
The not bipolar person...me...is really believing in herself
again....I'm not yelling at my kidz anymore....I'm loving them....I'm
playing games with them....and I'm counting the days until HE makes it
until....9:30pm or even later....
What??? A woman can dream can't she? Or, she can count the days until
she can leave, with three kidz and be able to make it on her own...

Wow, that is an incredible story, and being a Mother with 4 kids which i
have raised on my own for the past 17 years,, yes it can be done, you
can regain you and move on with your life you are not a lazy person just
a woman who is trying to survive,,, so may i say you are a beautiful
woman full of life and i hope that you live it to its fullest
potential... May God Bless you and keep you safe in his arms.... D

My sis-in-law is Bi-Polar. We had to commit her for 3 weeks this summer.
She and my brother have 3 kids. My brother has a pretty lonely life. She
takes her meds and puts on a brave face, but she spends a lot of time
locked away in her bedroom. My bro does most cleaning, errands, laundry,
feeding the kids, etc., and runs his construction/painting business. I
am sorry for what you are experiencing. I am really, really glad you
posted here. I think spouses of the bi-polar deserve support.

it can be a serious thing. but, i have a ??? is he an alcoholic or
addic? most of them are.

No, he is not an addict to anything except anger...
