ok, my girlfriend of 4 years is 36 years old, has had 7 natural born children. soon after the last child who is now 8 she had her tubes singed shut. she was married previously for 18 years to the same man since the age of 15. has a history of drug abuse and domestic violence but is not a violent person. of that out of the way here's the problem. precisely 2 days before her period every month her mood takes a drastic change. her memory is normally bad but for the 7 days its extremely bad, along with her whole demeanor and attitude. she starts lying about things, which creates fights. to give you a very good example and its not exaggerated at all. she has faithfully moved out of my house every month for 13 months within her menstrual cycle. were talking fully packing her belongings and gone. and the thing that bothers me the most, is where she usually ends up. and its rarely the same place twice in a row. if i wait 3 days and make no contact. she will usually make an appearance claiming she forgot something. her way of coming back home. durring the rest of the month she is absolutely the best. she captured my heart with who she is. but unfortunately my heart is having a hard time accepting these episodes. and mainly because following them she can see where she went overboard and will admit it. but the next month and bam. it like the previous month never happened. its sad the fact that its become the only thing consistent about her anymore. she refuses to seek treatment, shes afraid of what they might find. and feels just having to take medication would screw her up mentally. which i saw with my ex wife. this girl meets the world to me, there is nothing i wouldn't do for her. but these episodes are getting worse. i'm afraid if she doesn't seek help soon, i'll need to get medicated. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
