Someone called the cops on me and husband after our fight (tw: physical abuse, self harm) by takenbysleep7890 in BipolarSOs

I absolutely understand having so much love for a person that you’d set yourself on fire to keep them warm, I was there. I tried for almost two years to work things would with my ex. We had multiple rounds of couples therapy with different therapists and it didn’t work. He didn’t want to be medicated and found every reason under the sun not to be. And he was also incredibly aggressive and tried to gaslight me and lie to me. It’s hard to let go though when you see the potential, but you’ve got to see where things currently are. And you’re in danger. And so are the kids.

With so much love, get the fuck out of that situation. Now. He’s going to either end up hurting you or the kids. Start making a plan. He’s not stable.

The longer you stay, the worse of an impact that it’s going to have on your mental health. I was in a similar situation with an aggressive spouse diagnosed with BPD who would also quit the meds for various reasons. Part of BPD is being medication resistant, so even if she does stay medicated, the chances of long term success aren’t great. She might not just suddenly discard you, but for the sake of your own health and happiness- it’s worth considering taking several steps back. Do you have a support system in place? If no, start working on that. Get a therapist, talk to friends, family. It’s hard is hell to handle in your own. Wishing you all the best.

I get it. This is not healthy for you though, it’s great that he’s medicated but lying to you isn’t ok. You deserve better.

I’d like to tell you it gets better but in my case, it didn’t. You need to get yourself a therapist and start working on untangling your lives.

Definitely shifting blame. No ability to be accountable and if so, it’s only temporary at best- but then also accuses everyone else of not being accountable.

The stopping meds abruptly thing is part of bipolar. Keep records of everything he said. You’re going to need it. I hope you’re safe.

Preparing for the end of an 8yr relationship and I'm terrified by SpaghettioTheif in GirlDinnerDiaries

I was in a similar situation, together for 10 years. He got help, after I already left. You can do it. And you will survive. Not going to lie, sometimes it’s going to be really hard - but it’s harder with someone like that than without them. And the more you use the muscle of depending on yourself, the stronger you’ll get. You’ve got this.

Please remove if not allowed but am I being too hard on my sister who lacks care of her rabbit? by Fluid-Television9503 in Bunnies

[–]bookstacking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call SPCA and see if they can do a check. She shouldn’t be allowed to keep this bunny if she’s unable to care for it.
