  • How do I cope with my boyfriend being in an inpatient bipolar program?

    About two-three weeks ago my live-in boyfriend entered into a manic phase of bipolar disorder. He started drinking really heavy a few weeks before this and it got worse and worse. He was paranoid, mean, sensitive, and non-coherant to the world around him. Sunday night he went missing when I told him I couldn't handle it anymore when he drank so much and took my son and left. and his family and i found him in an ER. He has now been admitted to a treatment facility.

    Honestly, I'm feeling a lot of hurt and self pity. I'm having trouble forgetting some of the fights and awful things we said to each other leading up to his admittance. I'm trying to be supportive by bringing clothes, etc to him but he still hasn't called me, but he's spoken with his aunt once and his uncle twice.

    He told his aunt and uncle he doesn't want me visiting. I'm just really hurt by this situation. I have bills to pay alone we are supposed to be paying together, my son is looking for him everynigbt and doesn't understand why he is gone and I can't even visit. His aunt and uncle are taking me to visit tonight anyways, but I'm scared he won't see me and if he does what will he say.

    He's trying to get out and doesn't want help. I feel so hopeless.

    How do I deal with this?

  • how do i deal with a live in bipolar boyfriend, please help!?

    If you could take the time out of your day to fully read what I am about to write, it would be greatly appreciated. I am a single mom seeking serious guidance in a scary situation.

    My toddler son and I moved out of state to be with a man and move in with him. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 7 years ago, which I was aware of, but he was medicated, off of alcohol and doing well. We moved in about two and a half months ago, signed a lease, and settled in, to find out that he had decided to come off of his meds. Things have gotten just worse and worse. He accuses me of cheating on him all the time, he breaks into my electronic devices to read my stuff, and he has started drinking again. He is having severe, textbook manic episodes. Monday night, it got really bad. He locked me out of our bedroom and wouldn’t let me in and we got in a huge fight and I told him to seek help or we were leaving him. He was screaming about how he is invinsible, king of the world, government consipracies, and the list goes on. He kept me up all night and literally wouldn’t let me sleep. Yelling, telling me I don’t love him, so on so forth. Monday evening I contacted one of his family members and let her know what was going on.

    Tuesday night my son and I came home and he had been drinking again, same manic attitude. When I put my son to bed my boyfriend Urinated on our living room floor because “he felt like it”, smeared it around with a towel, and threw the towel on top of my sons clothes. I was the one who actually cleaned it up. Then when I attempted to go to sleep he started singing a song (yelling) that he was going to kill me, kick me in the gut, to get out of his house “stupid-bit**”, etc. Wednesday at work I sent him a text and told him if he didn’t get into the doctor that day, we would not be home. He didn’t go to the doctor, so I went to stay with one of his family members in town, but did not tell him where I was going.

    I told him a few weeks ago I would pay his school tuition, but I told him this morning that I am no longer paying it, because I am not helping or investing in someone who won’t help themselves. He is upset that I backed out of paying for his school, but why would I do something generous and loving, when he has emotionally tortured me for the last two months.

    I do admit, that I have lost it a few times and yelled back, and I even punched the wall on Tuesday because I was so upset. I haven’t slept in days, my son is confused and upset, and so am i.

    He is really upset that we aren’t coming home, but I can’t put my son in danger, and I feel like I would be if I went back before he gets help. His family has all taken the time to speak with me, and his Aunt and Uncle are letting me stay with them for a few days until things cool off.

    In the meantime my son is really ill with pneumonia and an ear infection, our actual apartment is undergoing water damage maintanence, and my family is supposed to come into town next weekend. I am at a loss here guys. I don’t know if he is going to get help. I am stuck in a lease with this man and he has gone off his meds and off his wire.

    Please, any advice is needed.

  • Why can't I control my emotions when on my period?

    The day before my period(before I even realize it is my period) I get utterly irrational. I snap and pick fights with my boyfriend over things like not waiting on me to eat crock pot dinners. Then continue after same subject relentlessly, cry, scream, say we are over. It is awful. How do I get this under wraps?

  • am I having a miscarriage?

    Yesterday I suddenly got this dull constant pain in my upper abdomen, right side. It just got worse and worse. I assumed it was gas or gallbladder something. I took some gas x, had some Advil and a light dinner.

    I was running a fever all night, moaning, and getting the chills. When I woke up this morning the pain was back severely in the right slide, slightly in the left and middle back, accompanied by a headache (which looking back I've had off and on for 3 days). When I breath to deep it hurts more. In the last hour I have began bleeding gray blood from the vagina. I am on the Morena, but I am sexually active and not using any other contraceptives.

  • why am I having violent dreams about my boyfriend?

    My toddler son and I moved in with my boyfriend about two weeks ago. The last week I've been having some pretty violent dreams where my boyfriends hurts me and my so . in one he might choke me to death in front of my son leaving my child begging for his mommy, or in the next he might shoot us both or slit our throats in our sleep.

    Outside of these dreams my boyfriend starting taking ambien a few weeks ago, he's been waking me up in the middle of the night to ask random questions, like "why is there a shoe holder on the door" or "did you lock the door?", but doesn't remember doing it. He's also admitted to waking up and like, comatose sleep binge-eating, which he does remember.

    He's also been acting super suspicious of me. When I walked into the apartment last night I was hanging up the phone with my mom and told her I loved you. He walked into the room with this very dark look and his face, like I just hung up with a lover and asked who it was, when I said my mom he acted like he didn't believe me.

    Keep in mind he has NEVER acted like this until just the last week. My son and I have spent ample time with him, including over nighters.

  • Will I be approved to sign a lease?

    My boyfriend and I just applied for an apartment together. He has lived in the complex for several years and he is trying to add me on. Between the two of us we make roughly 5-6 times the rent.

    The issue is I have a poor credit score, I have a two year old eviction on my record, and one over due bill on my credit report.

    I emailed the apartment manager and was upfront about everything. I forwarded a statement from the landlord whom evicted me stating I paid him in full and we are in good standing. I'm really concerned they won't approve me despite my efforts though.

    Do you think I will get approved since it is a joint application and my boyfriend is in good standing with them?

  • how do I tell my family I'm moving my son and I cross country?

    Recently I've decided to move my one year old and I back in with a boyfriend. I left him to move to WI to live with family several months ago. He loves my son and I and wants us to have a life together, back in GA. My family has always been controlling and will strongly oppose. My aunt has all the money I've saved and I fear she will keep it to stop the move. I've arranged for a job in my career field. My mom and sisters live in AL so some family is down there. This is a struggle but it is happening

  • To move back to him or not?

    Hi,

    For starters I am a 23-year-old single mother. I recently moved from GA to WI with my dad, aunt and grandparents and left my mom, sisters and a new relationship in GA. I really want to move back to GA even though I've only been in WI for a short while.

    I'm feeling a lot of guilt about this because my family loves my one year old to pieces. I feel like I made a huge mistake leaving this man and my sisters behind. I had a job that I loved, a man that I love, etc.

    I was considering moving back and living with the guy (we've been dating three months). I've changed my mind, due to him not knowing us well, but I still want to move back regardless. If I were to move back and get my own place to explore this relationship, would it be that awful?

    Am I bad person for wanting to move back across the country and leave this part of my family?

  • Should my child and I move in with him?

    To start I just moved across the country to WI with my family and left a new and exciting relationship in GA.

    The guy I was dating came for a visit and I really am considering moving back to GA with my 14-month-old to be with him. I have a support system including grandparents, aunt and dad in WI, but my mom, sisters, and this man are down south. I asked him to think about it and he said he would.

    If he were to tell me to move back to GA would I be crazy to do it?

    I'd really upset my family in WI if I did it. I've known him for several months, I'm 23 and I could see something coming of it. He has a career and he's in school in GA. I'm in online college and I'm waitressing, so I don't see what I'd be losing besides a close relationship. I'm miserable living with my Dad and Aunt and I'm ready to be on my own.

  • Did I overreact about my sister's dogs peeing in my bed...again?

    When my SO decided not to be a part of the babies life I moved in with my Dad and Aunt(who might as well be my mom), taking over the guest bedroom. My sister and her husband come into town pretty regularly and usually sleep in that bed. The first few times of me living there I didn't mind so much, but when the baby stuff started being merged I got a little teritorial of what is now MY room.

    Seeing that this room is no longer the guest bedroom, it is the baby and I's, I have the right to not really want people in it. The baby and I should not have to move out everytime they come into town. Regardless, I allowed them to sleep in the bed last time they came with their 2 chihuahs and newest puppy. I went to change the sheets Sunday and there were two huge pee stains on my mattress cover. I got enraged. This is not the first time I have found poop and pee remants and the 2 previous times I didn't say a thing not wanting to be ugly, because my sister and I had already argued about how it was no longer a guest bedroom and I didn't really want the "untrained" dogs in there.

    I couldn't keep my mouth shut this time. I sent my sister a text message telling her I was not amused, I was having to spend hours cleaning this mess up and her dogs were not allowed in my bed. In reply I got that I was rude, and that her dogs do not pee in the bed. I just lost it, I really did. I don't know if some demon took over my body or if it was just hormones, but I went crazy.

    When I finally got calmed down my Aunt called her to rectify the situation and I could hear the conversation. I picked up on that I am a drama queen because I start stuff every time they come into town, I am hormonal and I make her feel unwelcome so she won't be back. The last time we argued she told me her life does not revolve around me and the baby, when I had done the sex ultra sound around her schedule, the birthing classes around her schedule, and the baby shower...around her schedule...

    It doesn't matter that she threw me a baby shower and left town without even picking it up, that she leaves trash laying around our house, that her dogs pee in the bed, and I have to move out of the "guest bedroom" because they are guest. Nope, I am territorial, hormonal and a drama queen. So over it. I understand why my dad and aunt took her side, they deal with the dogs so they can see my sister. How do I deal with this?

  • Have they or are they sleeping together?

    My boyfriends sister-in-law/one of my good friends and my boyfriend act really strange around each other. Let me start by saying I am not usually suspicious and obsessed until now.

    They lock themselves in her bathroom when I am arond for 1/2 hour at a time. She picks him up from his house to spend the weekend with his brother, the kids and herself to help babysit. At night while he is visiting he doesn't call me and I can't get ahold of him. When I am around them together it is literally like I do not exist. He is flirting with her, wrestling, smacking her on the butt, and conversating with her.

    When I spend the night at her house(which I quit doing because of this) I will literally wait up until 1or2AM for him to be ready for bed and he never is, he always wants to stay awake with Amy. But, whenever it is just him and I he passes out on me at like 11 at night, when I barely see him as it is.

    Maybe I am paranoid, or just not flirtacious or playful as she is. But, it is really irritating and I feel like something is going on.

  • 34 weeks pregnant and fell in driveway? What do I do?

    Last night I fell in the driveway and scraped my knee pretty badly. I didn't hit my tummy, thank god, but I did twist my torso. I don't usually feel the baby much during the night, but I have only felt him move once since then. I am having a little bit of pain in the pelvic region but it could aslo be the baby dropping. I am at work and one woman has already called in, so I don't really want to leave. Do I need to go to the doctor even though I appear to be fine?

  • What can I expect out of my body post pregnancy?

    I am due in 6 weeks and I think the thing I am most nervous about is what my body will look like after pregnancy. I have never been thin or in incredible shape. But, I have always had perky breasts, shapely body and clear skin. Even during pregnany I have managed to keep my small waist and shapely figure. I have heard stories about breasts getting saggy from breastfeeding, skin breaking out, cellulite, stretchmarks, and loose skinned stomach. I have also put on more weight than I was supposed too. I am so excited about this baby, but I still want to look good!

    What happened to your body, how did you bounce back and do you have any tips? How did you dress post pregnancy and what did you to to feel like your old self again?

    My Aunt(AKA mom figure) who is also the babies GAM has been sp supportive of me throughout my pregnancy. As the end of my pregnancy draws near I am running out of time.
