Better bad days

I know that Rickey and I are both learning durring this new time in our lives, and I think we're starting to get some things down!

Yes I know that even medication won't make the bipolar disappear , even if I wanted it to. So he still has bad days. Now when a angry mood hits we've worked out a plan. He tries to tell me if he feels it come on and if we're together he'll ask me to leave the room. No I don't like being asked to leave, but it beats the fight that might happen if  I stayed in the same room, and he stays in the room and takes a nap or beats on his punching bag.

A few good things I can be thankful for. As we work through this stupid disease there are things I am glad R doesn't and do and will never do.  He has never physically hurt me or the kids, he has never cheated or abused drugs or liqure. With bipolars you have to be thankful in what is good with this stupid disease.

Here's praying for a much better, healthier 2013!!!
