Mz. Pixie Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 C-Lion, Can you weigh in here on this with me?? This woman doesn't sound like she's suffering from ADD, she sounds bipolar to me. People with bipolar disorder take an average of 10 years to get the proper diagnosis. The mood swings and rage she is experiencing to me sounds like bipolar disorder. Of course I'm not a dr- just someone close to me has bipolar disorder. Link to post Share on other sites

Author lydon Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well, its final. My wife attacked me last friday. She has been charged with domestic violence/ assalt and battery. This was inevitable, as we were seeing a councellor specializing in AD/HD. She gave us several tips/coaching to deal with my wife's condition. As, may of you told me, her level of anger, and violence was not acceptable, and i'm not sure how much of it has to do with AD/HD, i belive she has other issues..but when ever the councellors started probing into her ager issues, she would say I have no issues. Short of it all, I am proceeding with a seperation..my wife is banned from having any contact with me, which is just fine...she is out of control, and I am afriad what she would do next...I am also concerned for my son, who lives with me part of the time. She attacked me two weeks ago as well, I hesitated to calll the police, because of the custody battle I am in with my ex...but she stepped over the line..again and again. Hopefully , this will be a wake-up call to her to get her anger/violent issues dealt with. I feel like a giant weight has been lifted of my sholders..I no longer fear going home at night, and I feel so much safer, bringing my son home. Her daugther is not speaking to me, I did not get a call on father's day..She is a teenager/ a perfect copy of her mother unfortunately for her....i will give her some time to cool down, before I attempt to talk to her.

sumdude Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Could be borderline personality disorder... and they will rarely admit there could be a problem and will try to make you think you have the problem. http://www.bpd411.org/bpd411resources.html Link to post Share on other sites
Author lydon Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 I can relate, she would always tell me that i had a problem, and that I had issues, after three different counsellors telling me that i am not the source of the problem, and that i was coping very well given my curcumstances. I even went and had myself checked for AD/HD, as she said that I wasn't organised enought! I knew deep down it wasn't me, as i have been in several lenghty relationship without occurance. I truely believe that she was putting on her best face for the 18 months we courted. iI did see some signs that i can identify today..in retrospect, back then she just seemed like a strong willed person, with a little bit of an anger issue. Her issues, became more and more apperant, the longer we were together, especially around children, and intamacy issues!!! I watched her to many times get in fist fights with her daughter, stating "she wasn't going to take her lip"..and that she deserved it. I can't believe I stuck around as long as I did!!!
