Generally speaking, those with bipolar disorder shift between states of ecstatic energy and overwhelming depression. Over time, these behaviors can become a difficult challenge in the context of a marriage. It is not uncommon for you to feel some responsibility for these shifts and worry about how to face a divorce when your spouse has bipolar disorder.
There are plenty of issues to be concerned about. One has no idea how a bipolar disorder will affect a person facing a disorder, even if symptoms have been relatively controlled in the past. Studies on this issue have shown a person with bipolar disorder can manifest a broad spectrum of emotions and behaviors from suicide to homicidal impulses, psychotic episodes and outbursts leading to the destruction of personal property and harm to spouses and children alike. If any actions have concerned you or threats have been made you need to consider protective measures including restraining orders and Court supervised counseling.
