I completely need to offload before I EXPLODE. Before I go on, if you are easily offended, do not read this, and sorry to the big polar folk who are not abusive and genuinely work on their own illness.
Here I go. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have seen countless numbers of people, including myself, get into relationships with Bi Polar diagnosed folk. Whether 1 or 2 it doesn't matter. Each and every single time, the person eventually leaves. WHY??????? DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I AM DAMN TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING ITS PART OF THEIR ILLNESS. IT DAMN WELL ISNT. There is no fine line. Each and every single one of them commit acts of domestic violence and acts of various forms of abuse. I grew up with it in a household where abuse was rife. I should have been removed from child services. Too smart to cover their tracks and convince me it was love.
Been with too many asshole bipolar people in relationships to know that they use their illness and pity party vicrimhoods to abuse, manipulate, tear you to absolute shreds AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THEY ARE COWARDS AND ABUSERS. They will rip you to shreds until they find their next victim. They will use their medication as a form of abuse against you. They will first make it seem so believable what they are saying until it keeps happening and they change the plot. When they see something isn't working anymore, they will not stop and they will work out a new plan with the same thing.
They will convince you it us you who is going crazy, cause you to doubt your sanity, make excuses for their behaviour, will not take responsibility to fix it nor change it. They will feed you lines to tell you they are going to change, go to dv counselling and right at the last minute, they will deny it all and say there is no problem. They will behind your back tell other people you are the issue. You are the cause of their state of mind. They will always blame you, someone else or their bi polar.
In saying all this I have met one person whom I respected, liked and looked up to. A person with Bi Polar. In a commited marriage, with children, running mental health groups in hospitals and the community, and managing her illness. The most sane and inspirational person I have ever met and will always hold in high regard.
So, no the game is over. Time is up. Gloves are off. What us being taught is putting lives at risk and permanent damage is being executed to innocent people. I'm stepping up and saying it how it is. I have zero tolerance for these shmuck of society. I took my ex to court and won a restraining order. It wasn't her first time in court, will not be her last, but I hope that one day they lock her up and throw away the key before she kills somebody.
Done and dusted.
