[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone rebuilt a relationship with a mentally ill partner? Not something like schizophrenia or a serious drug addiction, but something that nevertheless pervasively impacts your life: depression, BPD, severe anxiety, stuff like that. What agreements did you make with your partner to be able to stay in the relationship? For context - spouse has severe untreated ADHD and depression. I am almost out the door, but I feel like there could be a chance if s/he could be self aware about the issue, commit to treatment, and help us (as a family) develop coping mechanisms. I'm not super hopeful about this, but I figure it is an avenue that should be explored, as there are children involved. I just don't know what it would "look" like if successful. [/quote]
