when your family member with BP went back to his wife, how did it happen? were they in contact? was he manic, was he demonizing her, was it just indecision? my wife has had a lot of trouble making decisions and sticking to them, especially in the last couple years. how did bipolar disorder affect their situation?
thanks again.
He was in a manic phase most likely when he left. He took up with a married woman with kids and got an apt. From what he's said to me, I think reality kind of brought him back. He went to see a lawyer and got the financial details : his wife is a stay-at-home and they'd been married about 20 years by then. With his infidelity and stuff; apparently it wouldn't have been good for him. I think maybe it was reality hitting him. He was in his 40s so maybe MLC a bit too. Sounds unromantic but they've been happily together now for 5-6 years. His bipolar is under control now so that probably helps too.
