Bipolar Disorder Community

Oh hun, I am so very sorry. I can hear the pain in your words. Its heart breaking when something like this happens.

Right now you need to take care of yourself and your children. Get that money out of the bank before he blows it all. Legally your entitled to half. You need money in order to take care of the three of you.

As for your husbands radical behavior, there really isnt anything that YOU can do. Its probably best that you step back, let him continue to spiral down until he crashes. He may need to hit rock bottom before he understands that he needs to get help. Many ppl have had to let a loved one fall. Its hard to do but at this time there isnt much you can do to help him.

Just stay safe and dont let him drag you down with him. Hopefully he will get the help he needs.

Take care of yourself and take care of those two children. Please continue to post and we will do our best to be supportive. hugs

Is prozac the only thing he's on? Is he on anything for the MS that might be conflicting with it?

I know its very hard to get through to someone in mania, but is he listening to your concerns? Does he regularly see a psychiatrist or a therapist?

I'd love to give advice and try to help, but need just a bit more information in order to be helpful.

Thankyou both. He was put on valium before we found out about the MS that mixed with heavy drinking daily was a toxic cocktail on its own he lied to me when i found out. See he has filed for divorce every four years we have been married he used it as kind of a hall pass to go do as he wished! Everytime i blamed myself, cried and took him back. Each time got worse? The drinking got heavier and now valium? Then came Mri because that wasnt enough. Now we found the MS and it had not debilitated him physically. He continued to say he struggled with being off balance and anxiety. The neurologist put him on prozac and like i quoted he removed himself mentally got a po box, he blew all the money at casino. Ran up debt close to 40k including buying sex. He filed for divorce moved out and lying badly to all. We are in florida all of our family in ohio there is no accountability for him and he is very successful so he has a identity crisis thinking hes unstoppable:(. Its heartbreaking for my children the grief is unbearable! I have tried everything to bring him home and want him to seek help nothing worked. I am an RN student this is my last year my oldest starts highschool and my youngest middle school we all start back next week and i pray God carrys us thru because we all feel like we just exist. We have seen counsel and i have great family support it just doesnt take the pain away.

He is also taking rebif for MS they are daily injections and yes they bring down immunity which can cause depression and does cause liver failure! That along with Heavy drinking valium and anti depressants? Its a ticking timb bomb. We do not communicate now and its been 8 mos since this all blew up. He has not seen my children and the credit card statements i do get are purchases of dinners for two. Im sure there are women as for strip club purchases as well. My husband was never like this other than the times he exploded and i THOUGHT never this bad? We were either great or he threatened & filed for divorce no in between...
