Married to Someone Who Has Schizophrenia/ Bipolar Disorder? Posted: 07-24-05 22:20pm
I'm young and married with a child. Just
in the past year my husband has been
showing signs of illness. He went to a
shrink who put him on meds. Stop taking
meds two weeks later and stop seeing
shrink a month later. Now i'm going crazy
trying to help him. I'm majorly
depressed. Cant help him have to help
our child. Now i'm working and seeing
less of my child. Things are getting
worse even though his stress is getting
less. Begging and pleading with him to
get help. He wont admit that he has
problems. No one around him coworkers or
family knows what he's been doing to me.
My mother see's some things and I tell
people I work with. But no sugguestions
help me. I only stay with him because I
know he has real problems. But staying
with him is hurting me. I don't have
money and no where to go. He argue's and
hollers all the time. My new job is at
jepordy because of my stress level and
lack of sleep. If I devorce his perfect
family will try to take my kid. Even
though he is not an active parent he will
try to keep our kid. Just to make me mad.
So any advice on how to get information
for devorce court. Email me with advice.

Why do you think he or his family can take
your child? I have never seen a court who
looked favorably on the father taking full
custody of a young child unless the mother
was not fit. And you can prove he has a
diagnosis of mental illness. Why do you
fear losing your child? And his family?
Please, I know of few states that even
have grandparent's visitation rights! Is
this the whole story? If so, then just
get out. You deserve better and so does
your child. Have any friends to put you
up for a while? A shelter? Don't live
your life in misery. You can do it!!!!!!!
Let me know how you are. That you are
okay....
