Hey honey,

You are really gong thru a ROUGH time. Bipolars can want out of marriages and relationships during manic episodes. Seen that firsthand. My spouse is bipolar/alcoholic. It's a very hard disase to deal with.

Sounds like all your dreams have been shattered.

Sometimes family doesn't want to see what is going on in their loved one, it is too painful to admit how sick they are.

But them accepting it and seeing it could really help his recovery from these illnesses.

Is he seeing a psychiatrist on a regular basis. You mentioned antipsychotic drugs, but no mood stablizier. It sounds like a very difficult combo to treat. I think the schizo is the hardest to treat and live with.
