Cope And Stay Safe With Your Bipolar Partner
It’s night time. She comes in from work. Puts her bag down. The eyes flare.
In a split second, you think ‘Here we go again.’ The mania she doesn’t notice has taken over her whole being, apart from a tender moment with one of the little ones.
The attacks will follow, escalate, after dinner as she drinks to still her mind. (What can I do? is at the front of your mind. How bad will it get? comes next, then Will the kids cope? follows, and your heart drops to your boots.)
