A Butterfly Landed An Eagle
My hindsight as your foresight, for informed, better choices, and less mistakes. To protect from and prevent emotional damage.
I am the person today because of the 27 years of hell I endured as the wife of a doctor with bipolar disorder. My Christian faith, Bible study, self-development courses, wide reading and prayer, brought me through as a whole person.
I write in the hope that my hindsight will help others make informed choices, like how to deal with mental illness with respect to his/her partner and protect children in the relationship.
I am avidly working on the sequel to my book. I hope my book brings some clarity in what is a complex and difficult mental illness. Most of all, it is up to the unaffected partner to protect the children from emotional abuse and damage as a priority over the relationship, particularly when the illness is mismanaged. All the children have is the well parent.
