So when someone is off their meds, doesn't think there is anything wrong, and is not recognizing their irrational behavior, does it even make a difference to try and talk to them? It has been 2 months with little communication with my husband. I would like to call but I am the enemy and he is "fine". Initially I decided to wait it out, but I'm not sure I am making The right choice. His behavior is affecting not only himself, but our kids. Was supposed to see them this weekend, saw them 1hr on Friday, and was a no show/no call for the rest of the weekend.
Don't know if I am making the right choice with this, or if it will be prolonged because he is staying where people don't acknowledge his bi-polar disorder.

When he is like this, it usually starts with me being the bad guy. Then progresses to "He doesn't make me happy", or he's fine, or goes through the shame and regret phase. Doesn't talk to me then because he thinks poorly of himself to the point that he assumes there aren't enough I'm sorrys to cover things.
