I am so sorry to hear about the GF being bipolar that is scary. That is a very scary disease and usually when they get to feeling better they quit their meds..and they are back to sqaure one.
I seem to be getting stronger and stronger as the months go by. I have been focusing on proving him wrong for so many months that me and my family are not white trash I was forgetting all the things he had done for me to get to the point I was at when he walked out. No we don't live in the multi-millon dollar houses BUT we all have nice houses cars and household goods. We are just average working people. The best part is that we have worked hard to get it, not just have it handed to us. That is something to be proud of. Like AmyC told me a few months back..he does not deserve my tears any longer. Is it hard, do I miss having someone to come home to at night?? YES I do!! and my cell phone doesn't ring as much as it used to..but guess what that was all about..his insecurities, that is why he had to call a million times a day. I wonder if he is doing it to GF, but if he is it is for the same reasons. Do they have something special, only time will tell that but that is something that I cannt change. I am pretty happy with my life. I would one day like to have someone special in my life again, but right now I don't trust anyone not to hurt me and that would not be right to anyone else. Healing is a good thing!
