Bi polar BD

I am expecting a child with my now ex. He is bi polar. It didn't really come out until recently. I left because he says things like I will kick you in the stomach and I do not want to be in that situation. He was the one that was really excited to have a baby now that it's really happening he is just smurfing crazy. Does anyone else have to deal with an unstable ex?

ahahah.. YES. Mine is BATSmurf insane..

Doesn't it suck?

Quoting *AnitaMarlene*:" Doesn't it suck?"

Beyond it. Im stunned at how insane and stupid he is.

My bf is bipolar and has anger issues. Some days are good, some days are bad.

Quoting Tay L:" My bf is bipolar and has anger issues. Some days are good, some days are bad."

Mine has anger issues too. I am happy I do not have to buy new doors every month. It's like a roller coaster it took so much out of me.

I can only imagine what it's going to be like when the baby is here. I really do not even want to let her go with him alone...

I am bi-polar -and I have to say that I thank God all the time for bringing me DH - he puts up with so much smurf from me that I cant always control - he knows how to get me to calm down and he knows when to just leave me alone - Its a battle that only two people who are truly in love and meant to be together will outlast - because it is such a hard situation to deal with and put yourself in - I know I am more than a handful - I dont blame you at all for not wanting to be in that situation because if he is not getting it under control with meds or anything he will fly off the handle A LOT - I take meds - I still have manic mode some days - but a lot less

ahahah... I know. My son is 5. I have to deal with this dick for a little bit longer.

I did not leave him because he is bi polar that doesn't make someone a bad person. But he does not try to control it or get the proper help. I couldn't take the physical and emotional abuse it was so scary. I would hope he would not be like that to his child but I do not want to take the chance.

Mine has spent years trying to control his anger. Some days its really bad and scary. I sometimes think he should go back to his therapist and we have talked before about going to couples counceling.

My bf doesnt want to go back on meds. He doesnt like them and said they make him different. He once said he thinks he should go back on them, but i told him that if he really doesnt like them, and they actually dont do anything for him except make him feel like a zombie (his term), i told him he doesnt have to go back and take them. Dr isnt prescribing them and his therapist didnt tell him he needs to take them either, so he must not need them that badly

Maybe he should be on something. There are tons of medications on the market. All have side effects. I think not living in fear is the main goal.

I didnt mean You left him because of it - But its good that you did leave because of the wY he treats you!

I dont live in fear. When he gets really mad its really scary. But if his dr's and therapist dont think he needs to be on anything, then maybe he doesnt. I dont want him to be a zombie and just kind of be there but not really feel anything. I love him the way he is, i would hate for him to act all differently and be miserable cause of medication.

my hopefully soon to be EX husband is bi polar and has ptsd he kept getting progressively worse and refused 2 go to the dr. when i was 2 mo preg with my now 9mo old he through me around the house and bounced me off of walls like a ping pong ball so i kicked him out. i havent seen him since and he has never seen our child. a lawyer friend of mine checked into it for me and he said with the abuse and then abandonement and the fact that he has not tried 2 contact me or see the child will all work in my favor to keep him away from me and the kids. the last episode he had where he was throwing me was because he slapped my then 4yr old.
