Coping with Bi-Polar WAW

[CountingCrows]

Thanks for the responses. I gave up the smoking at the beginning of July. She still does. Right now, I'm preparing myself to wean off of cigarettes, which is really hard with the stress I'm currently under. We both made HUGE regrettable mistakes that affected our family within a short period of time, but I've had no problems walking away from my vice...apparently it hasn't been that easy for her to walk away from hers (OM).

Another thing that I missed in the sitch was the fact that since she currently has no job or income, I am still paying for most of her needs. I've completely cut out the support of her wants, but I have helped her get groceries/gas, I'm still paying the truck payment/insurance. I'm paying for her C visits. We had a heated discussion at the end of last week, because she had assured me that she would be hitting the pavement and finding a job last week, but really only hit up one place on Monday. After our talk on Thursday night, she seems to be actively looking and had several interviews yesterday. I promised I wouldn't leave her destitute, but I'm not going to continue to support her living away from home...she's going to have learn how hard it is to be self-sufficient, if that's one of her goals. Trying to walk that line between not being taken advantage of, and not using it as a way to try to pull her back. Well, she just pulled up, so I'll check back later.
