Wife Filed And I Need Help With Busting ASAP

[Scott123]

I've been thinking about one option for a while now, but I'm not
sure about it.

We are good friends with an older couple who know our situation
really well. They are in their 60s and we have known them
a long time (probably 10 years) My wife used to work with her. W
is actually like a daughter to them. She helps them out every now
and then, she is even in charge of their estate, she talks to them
often and I guess you can say leans on them too when she needs a
shoulder.

They are really great people. I was considering reaching out
to them and explaining things from my point of view as well
as my wives "smashed hopes" point. I know they would actually
sit and listen and evaluate everything in a non-judgmental
way. They would be the type that would even go talk to my doctor
about it all as well as sit down and watch the lecture and
read all the material I have.

I was just basically going to ask them to hear me out because I
think her choice of divorce is a serious mistake and all
based on fear and past emotions.

My only concern is that W would just get even more aggravated,
but then again maybe some progress can come of it either way.

The thing I don't have and I need is a support network that can
help me stay on track. I did not have that in the past and
even though I was ms-diagnosed it still would have been
helpful to have a bunch of family and friends be supportive
and catch the little setback I could have before they got
out of control or turned into an episode. With hypo its
not difficult. For example, if I go longer than 3 or 4 hours
without eating I'll start to get "down" and "irritable" because
of my glucose levels. that is easy to fix with even just
a simple handful of nuts and a few raisins. Boom, instant
change in mood and level blood sugar. I never knew about that
in the past I can see plenty of times where "major" episodes
could have been easily prevented just like that. Maybe if
everyone new that I was hypo and they new how the illness
affects people, how to counteract it they would be supportive.

I even have pure blood sugar tabs and I carry a few in my wallet
and I have them stuffed in jackets, the glove box in the car etc.
just in case. They do the same thing that a meal/snack would
do for your blood sugar.

The only people supportive of me right now are my parents, my
daughters and a few friends. W and friends plus her whole family
are basically against me and have no clue about it and just
go with what she says about bipolar.

The only reason I mention that is because I agree that you
can fall back into old habits, patterns etc, but it's
not likely when you have solid support from all of your
family and friends that understand exactly what is going on.

What do you think?
