Sister In Law has this problem.
Does it take different steps than normal divorce?
Bro in law doesn’t take medication or want to go to doctor/hospital.
Just causing a mess at home.
Tearing house apart.

My best friend did it twice with the same woman. She finally spiraled out of control enough he said frick it. Was a total disaster. Sad part is she was perfectly delightful on her meds. Part of the endless cycle of being a shite show, getting on meds, showing improvement, thinking you don't need meds, being a shite show. Rinse and repeat.

That is pretty much any bipolar. The question becomes “How long will the cycle take?”

I was married to a woman with borderline personality disorder. I asked the therapist if that was like bipolar.

He told me I wished it was bipolar. That can be treated with medication. Pretty much no cure for BPD.

Having kids will impact what type of divorce they have.

That said, a very close friend of my wife and mine divorced a bipolar spouse.

Basically, they have kids but the spouse was dangerous and wouldn't accept health. The non bipolar spouse threw so much money to expedite the divorce and limit custody to a level of safety I admire.

I know it's an illness but if you have kids you have to protect them.

Why would it take different steps? Almost no one is the same person 24/7. Bipolar just takes meds to stay that way as often as possible. I mean almost no one marries someone that is crazy from the get go. I'm sure being with some Bipolar is horrible as they may be amazing on one side. But at the end of the day if when they are bad its bad, it is what it is.

No but dated one for long time. Walking that thin line to keep them from basically killing you is not fun. I couldn’t even imagine dealing with it with divorce.

No, but I know of families with a bipolar family member that has caused a lot of problems because of pretty much the situation you described. They started taking meds and once they start feeling better they stop and then it starts all over again. Its actually pretty sad because while they are dealing with some serious mental issues, it gets to the point where there is only so much that people can do for them.

He needs to check himself in and get some help. Its unfortunate many men will not go see a counselor who can truly help them. I know people hate the meds and it sucks seeing them when they are going through a down phase.

Amen, brother. Spent ages 27-45 in that type of marriage. I'm 50 now and just got an email from my attorney that she's trying to take me back to court in January.
