re: Anyone Ever Divorce a BiPolar Spouse

I have seen a couple close friends and family members go through this. There is no mincing words: it is extremely hard for anybody involved. Family, friends, supporters, either side.

I sincerely wish I had better advice than a heavy emphasis on therapy and meds but I don't. I have not seen any firsthand situations where things worked out. That's not to say there can't be situations where things work out, but I haven't seen any.

My advice based solely on the handful of personal cases is "get out now". That's not good advice because it doesnt' account for the other possibilities, so perhaps the non-bilpolar spouse should seek their own counseling first.
