[quote=Anonymous]I've written other DCUM forums about difficulties with my wife. She diagnoses as being bi-polar after the birth of our second daughter. She's been on medication - but voluntarily gets off the meds periodically when she "forgets" or feels like she doesn't need them.  She spends most of the day sleeping. Stays at home to "look after the girls" - but is usually asleep. My 9 and 6 year old usually make their own breakfast or dinner when I'm not around.

I've had conversations and arguments with my wife. We've been to joint counseling sessions and continue to go once a week.  How it's to no avail - my wife either tired or angry.  Recently - over the past two weeks - she's made some strange/scary comments.  Last week she said she "hates her family" - referring to me and our two daughters.  The following day she said, "I hate 3 o'clock because the girls come home".  Today she called our oldest daughter a "bitch" and said "some times she feels like beating her up."

I've always excused my wife's' actions as a fall-out from depression.  I've attempted for the past 6 years to shelter my girls from her actions, outbursts and crashes. As far as our friends and familes know, we have a perfect house with a perfect marriage. However, I'm starting to fear for the long term mental well being of my girls and, as of the past to weeks, I'm starting to fear for their safety.  Am I going overboard or are my concerns warranted?[/quote]
