My wife is my life. I only wish I could have showed her that before she decided to leave. The point is, I didn't know how to handle her. Because she was Manic or something?
Phil,
My W's mother was Manic. She divorced her dad when W was 17. Her dad told me that she went from these amazing 'high highs' to lows that were 'vicious'. It was tough to live with.
At the time she got on Lithium which was the drug of choice then. So when I met her she seemed pretty calm. This was 1985.
These days they can do hormone / blood tests to figure it out. And they have a lot better drugs now also.
She certainly can go from 'zero to B1tch' in 60 seconds. And you're at the end of your rope.
If you could calmly talk to her about her mood swings, ask her if she'd see a doctor about them because they may be due to physical causes that might be a start.
I think of it this way: Our brain is a big chemical machine. Sometimes it goes off balance and we need to correct it. it's just chemistry, nothing else.
