My name is Art and I am a 38 year old Male. 

I am a 38 year old soon to be ex husband of a wife who has bi-polar, BPD, PTSD, OCD, and depression. We have been married eight years and have three children...We live in the Midwest USA.. I would be interested in corresponding with anyone who is caring for a sufferer of any of the aforementioned disorders. This has been quite trying on us and our family...There have been so many ups and downs...Times when my wife showed so much promise with her conditions to only come crashing down each time. Her mom who also has issues herself is and probably forever will be a major facilitator in bringing my wife down. My wife has attempted suicide three times and been hospitalized each time. She has had ample tools offered to her to deal with her issues but always waffles on them only to turn back to mom and her ways of destruction. She has abandoned me once a year and a few months ago and has now done so again...She was just out of the hospital too as recently as last May...I have come to the conclusion that this is going to be our pattern for the unforeseeable future as it has been my wife's pattern long before we were married...I must now consider my children...They have been put through enough hell to this point and are in need of stability. This is so hard for me as I am a kind caring husband who totally believes in sticking by those in need. I fear a day will come when my wife will realize what a supportive mate and life she is giving up and will crash hard. I fear the worst but I myself know of no other course to take...This has been just a tidbit into our life together...Anyone in similar circumstance can feel free to email me...These situations are tremendously hard I know. I'd like to have some good come out of this....Best wishes to all
