‘I love you
I hate you; a Bipolar Marriage’ by Alice Madison Young is a great eBook for
anyone who is in a relationship with a bipolar patient.
What I
really liked about this book was how Alice gave us a personal glimpse into what
it’s like to live in a bipolar marriage. I was the wife of a bipolar patient
and life was not easy by any means. Technically we are still married but have
been separated for years.
Anyways
Alice Madison Young shares what it was like living with her manic depressive
husband. This is a true account of the life, sometimes good and sometimes bad
that one lives through in this type of marriage.
She describes
how the symptom of the mental health disorder wreaked havoc on her marriage.
Her husband was a rapid cycler which means he could change his mood from one
minute to the next.
When she
describes the time she had to call 911 for her safety because he was cycling,
it brought back terrifying memories of my own. That 2002 incident, as she
recalled it made me feel so badly for her. Her telling of his first breakdown
in 2000 , shows just how easily a mental breakdown can occur within a bipolar
episode.
I highly
recommend ‘I love you I hate you; a Bipolar Marriage’ by Alice Madison Young
and you can purchase it on Amazon. For $2.99, it is a great read for anyone who
may be living the life.
Bad Stuff-- Few typos but otherwise a solid useful book.
