Q: Bipolar husband mood changes

Hello , I'm new to this site but my husband and I have been married for 2mos but we been together for 4yrs.He has never admitted to me being bipolor and I know I'm not a dr. or anything but trust me he is.When we first got together he was always in anger management because of his probation and now I can see why.Slightes little thing he will snapp and you can see it in his face that it even changes his look.Of coarse with him not admitting to it he's not taking anything but, he smokes weed everyday to calm him down.There's not a day that goes by he don't smoke and he seem so different when he does.His mood seem nicer when he is high which I hate to admitt.


Last year the job he had him and few of his co-workers had won the lottery.His share was $30,000 which was gone within month 1/2.He have nothing to show for it that you consider big other than xbox and summer clothes all wasted.Not only that he was stingy when he had the money.If you say anything or if he feels like he's hurt mentally about anything he will snapp and get violent.He says that's why he gets high because he knows that he will snapp and he don't want to hurt me.He got mad over something that his own grandmother said to him and he started acting like a big baby and hitting,throwing and punching furniture.


This is the one thing that is a problem now.I think he's easily taking advantage of.He had came accross an old high school girl friend on facebook.He's now 40 but he hasn't seen her since she was 15 and he was 18,well he for some reason thought he had a child with her so when he saw her on facebook he ask and I guess she told him they have a son.Now the boy is 23 now , he don't have my husband name or the mother , saw pics of him and her on facebook and myspace looks nothing like his mom and definatley not like my husband.My husband is brown skin and she's dominican dark and the boy is real light with red hair.I'm trying to wrap this up to get to the point but he recently sent this boy he has never met money into her bank acct,without ever having any kind of paternity test.I think in his mind because he have 2 young girls from a previous relationship and no boys that he want the boy to be his son so bad that he don't even think paternity is neccassary and the girl and her boyfriend may I add is playing on his weakness.What can we do he won't admitt he's bipolar so how can he get meds cuz the weed not lasting and it's costing us big time?

On the issue of drugs, you've got to take the overall effect, not just when he's high. Then you'll see that it isn't doing him any good. Chances are you wouldn't be able to get him off it alone, though. You could talk with a drugs counselor about this.

I take it he hasn't been diagnosed by a doctor?

Don't forget to think about your own health. Don't think I'm taking sides, but this guy could drag you down, although he might not mean to.

Bipolar
Well, you message is quite confusing but I can tell you this, I am bipolar and have smoke "weed" for years before I was diagnosed. With bipolar comes mood swings, mainly highs and lows...My mania is anger and my lows, of course, is depression...I smoked pot to hide from issues in my life, never realizing I was manic depressive...Your husband sounds like there are serious issues from his past going on...He might be holding anger from all of that...Getting high is not the answer for him...but he's the one who needs to realize there are problems that he has to get help with...Only he can do that...you might aggravate the situation if you keep at him...Suggest he gets help and leave it alone...if he doesn't then, you need to take care of yourself...also, he sounds very selfish...This question then is who really needs the help, you or him or both? And lastly, too much drama...he is the one who allows himself to be taken advantage of...kid, no kids, if he wants the boy in his life then let him...it's up to the two "parents" to have a paternity test...their decision not yours...whatever the case my be, it really something they need to work out, and also letting you know what's going on every step of the way since you are apart of his life now...Good Luck
