[quote=Anonymous][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 -[b] spouse has severe untreated ADHD and depression.[/b] 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] I was certain that was coming while reading the first paragraph. Back again? Get them to accept treatment or get out. You are part of the problem if you sit around doing nothing.[/quote]
