    I know what you mean - I'm soooooooo in love this time around and it's been the best - which is why I avoided joining the group - I don't need someone telling me to 'run the other way'! I wouldn't anyway. Sending Love and Hugs your way!

    I wanted to tell you how great it was to read someone asking for support instead of just bashing some ex-boyfriend. I am Acuriousfish's fiancee, and I find it very hard to read through the discussion threads because it always seems to be about someone's ex - usually undiagnosed and not on meds. So for what it's worth, I wanted to say 'thanks'!

    Paula, I'm so sorry to hear that you have to put up with this dreadful illness, and the seeming indifference. My 1st husband was MD, & in hindsight, I don't know how I hung around for nearly 6 years. The illness is real, but you should know that many people with this one can be very manipulative. There may come a time when you will have to leave a while, for the sake of your own sanity. You cannot stay in a elationship that is making you so desperately unhappy too. And when you child reaches a certain age, you can be sure that the bad vibes will be picked up, which is not good for a small person. My daughter also has MD, but I sometimes wonder if she would have developed it, if I'd stayed away when I went on holidays to my parents' place when she was just 2. He got custody of her (amazingly - he was slightly manic at the time, & sounds very convincing - at least for half an hour - when mildly manic) But, he started playing games with the poor child, and she has not only MD, but dreadful self-esteem problems also. I'm OK with her now, as I have stuck by her through all her terrible mistakes and she trusts me, but she was incredibly abused by him when he had her from age 4-12. I do not wish to frighten you, believe me, but you must put your child first I feel. I hope you don't think I am being too harsh - as it is obvious that you really care about the man you married. Youu can talk until the cows come home when he is depressed, but it is not really constructive - he's just got an audience. There are times when it is better to back off, & leave it to the professionals. Fond regards, Jane D.
