Living with someone with Bipolar disorder is hard. When you took your marriage vows, that was a commitment to stick by each other through thick and thin. It had to be hard for her for you to be in Iraq. With you back, you can give her the support she needs. I am sure you were in love with her when you married her and I hope you are still in love with her. Dealing with a mental illness and a suicide attempt can be scary. But you have dealt with alot more being in Iraq. Seek a Dr. for her and a Psychiatrist for her. Support her and seek counseling for yourself and for your children. There are many famous people that have lived very successful lives with bipolar disorder and you would never know they suffered from this illness. The correct meds is crucial for your wife. Treatment is crucial and support. God Bless and Good Luck.

You being gone to Iraq probably had something to do with her mental breakdown, she never knew whether you would live or die over there, right? Now that you're home take the kids and get your wife some counseling and medication to help her get balanced, you should not dessert her because of a mental problem that can be treated. Stay and support her, you can be happy together and your children will feel that as they grow.

Well let's look at it this way.... If you were sick, how would you feel if she left you? My wife booted me when I was depressed. This made me worse and I nearly succeeded in killing myself afterward. If I were you, I would help her. But if you're too chicken sh!t to deal with it, then leave, break your marriage vows, and live with the shame. Otherwise, you can get her some counseling, support her, and get her this book:

You can also make sure she gets a proper diet with supplements like omega 3 fish oil, 5-HTP, and balanced mineral supplements. Exercise helps too. Read my story and email me if you want more info on treating mental disorders:

Abandoning her in this time of need would be morally lame. Unfortunately, there are no laws against it, so you're free to do as you please. If you face it like a man, do the right thing and care for her, she won't do it again. Environment plays a big role in mental health. If you can get her on the net, I'd like to talk to her.
'Nuff said?

Your wife needs your love and support as well as some medication, and counseling. If she is on meds now, make an appt. with her Dr. to discuss increasing or changing her perscription. Counseling is highly reccomended.
Try to locate a good friend or family member who would be willing to keep a check on your family for you, in the event you are deployed again. If she has someone to encourage her, she should improve. (perhaps she was depressed as well)?
If it comes to the point you have to leave her, make sure you have custody of the kids first.
Best wishes.

I think you should try to help her. Most bi-polar people have there times were there in there depressive mood. And then get the maina in hours or days. what she needs is some suporrt right now. I know its hard case she is unpordictable but with meds and therapy and your and your childerns support it can be okay.

Does this sound familiar?
"I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity.
I choose you to be my wife, to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life.
You know well what you should do...
