re: Anyone Ever Divorce a BiPolar Spouse

My fiancé has had mental health struggles in the past, her parents were against medications, they want her on the hippie approach of Marijuana and micro- dosing, her dads a vet and micro-dosing works for his ptsd. She declined and chose to take her prescribed medication.

If I told her mom what meds she was on she would flip out, but medication truly help her. It's difficult for someone to recognize they have mental health issues, but she did BEFORE she met me and she's been the same amazing, rational woman as long as I've known her.

It's difficult to convince someone they have an issue, even if it's confirmed by a medical professional. They have to know it themselves. Similar with dementia, my grandma has bad dementia but she's aware enough to know it and won't travel or do certain things because she feels like she'll be a burden at some point.
