wife left, wants divorce, possibly bipolar

[ryepatch]

i'm not hiding, just having trouble with not really having friends here anymore. all of "our" friends are now her friends only. . . did go out last night with a girl from my bipolar support group, had a good time although my head is pounding today! also spent money i shouldn't have.

i don't have any friends for over a thousand miles, can't see anybody unless i get on a plane. been trying to convince my friend back east who can't find a job right now to come out here and move in with me, i don't know if he will.

as for getting served. . . well, our therapist thinks a divorce wouldn't make much difference in our bond if we handle it right. i'm hoping she's starting to realize that hiring lawyers and having an antagonistic process can only be bad for both of us.

but i would have to fight back if she doesn't accept mediation.

i'm trying to be positive and think that she's having second thoughts. . .
