All I know is that we both want our family together again and that everything else is going to take lots of patience and work.
Maybe it's time to start doing a little reading regarding piecing.
I'm not saying that's the next step, but I understand that piecing can be consider HARDER than getting through the initial breakup and detaching, etc...
Kaffe, Great post. Just one thing...
I will agree with reading up on piecing to a small point, but I think reading up on bi-polar disorder and something to the effect of living with someone with bi-polar is in better preparation for what is to come. I think piecing will come along with it.
A local used book store had a book that I can't remember the title, but it was basically "My spouse has bi-polar disorder" and books like "Living with Bi-Polar personality"; titles like that. I definitely think you should prepare to be aware and understand what is going to happen and what your W might be going through, so you can handle things accordingly. Just my opinion.
