Living with a bi-polar A is #@%^T$#
Been there done that got the t-shirt and I have seen the movie. Yes it is not enough that the are bi-polar but then just when you think you can not take much more they start to drink. I know their have been studies that say bi-polars are prone to alcoholisim. Mine did not like lithium so they tried many other drugs that did not seem to help her disposition. My advice would be if you can get out, get out now because it rarely gets any better. People from Priests to Dr.s told me to get out for year but I did not listen and now I am paying the price. Don't do why I did and waste many years waiting for her to get over her problems, its not fair and it is no fun.
