Good news, I'm home for two days with Emma since she is out of school. She still woke up at 5:40 this morning! I was hoping to get some quiet time in between AJ and Rickey leaving and getting the girls up to take K in to school. If you know Emma there is never a slow moment once her feet hit the floor out of bed.
Yesterday was a not so good day in our home. R was down. So last night after we went to bed I started researching a little more about bipolar. Sadly I have just taken what R has told me and not learned more my self. I didn't feel I was doing him justice or myself until I learned more.
I was reading online last night. Not my best research but still getting some understanding. None the less I was a bit discouraged by what I read. R has bipolar disorder 2. The reading I did get on it fit R to a T. I also read some forums from spouses that have said statistics are high for divorce for bipolar couples. My plan is to prove that article wrong!!
This is a hard road we're on, and we're only 6 months in. We both ask each other sometime " do you wanna stay? Do you want out?" We love each other so very much!! No we will hold on tight. One big thing I think we have in our corner is our faith in Jesus!! I know we already have a weapon! It's not a secret weapon, we want people to know how we fight!!!
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteWe have been on this road for many years now. We are also proving the statistics wrong, but it's not an easy road. It's only with the strength that God gives that we have made it this far and can see the future.
Both of my boys and my hubby have bipolar disorder. All three of them also have Asperger's. It definitely means we live on a roller coaster, but it also certainly makes life interesting!
Btw--This is Malinda, not Tom. For some reason it automatically logs into his account instead of mine...
ReplyDeleteCall if you want to talk! I have TONS of research and encouragement to offer! :)
