“Thanks for an honest perspective. Do you have kids with your ex-wife? Are you regretful of how y o u treated your ex-wife? I feel a bit sorry for her since she got the worse of y o u even though you're doing better now. Are you in touch with her at all? BTW, I'm glad that you want to do better and are doing so.”

I have kids with my ex, and they adapted well to the divorce. The thing is, I was not able to enjoy them very much because I always had a mental fog, anxiety, or depression. We enjoy our time very much when we are together.  being Bipolar took away the ability to enjoy the present, and I do whatever I can to enjoy every second I have with them from now on. We play board games, cook together, do trails etc.

I also feel sorry for my past behavior, but I am afraid that she also suffers from untreated depression resulting in high irritability. The irony is that I now co parent with her with white gloves because I know what she is going thru, even when she refuses to accept her condition.   I do look back at times and truly regret how I managed my anger, anxiety and hyper sexual drive. I asked for forgiveness many many times at the end, while attending church, psychiatrist and therapists but it was too late.

I am in touch with her because we have to co parent, but I rather do it via text or Email unless absolutely necessary.  She has not been very kind as a co parent, and I feel she resents me moving on and changing for the better after we split.

I am in a great and steady relationship with someone wonderful now. I have been very honest about my mental health and have not given a reason to doubt my progress.

It is sad. No one asks to be born this way and yet we have to pay for consequences of our instability. I wish I knew I was bipolar when the symptoms arises.... It cost me my first family, but I will do whatever I can to preserve and care for the second chance that God has given me.

So, those are the cards that I had to play with. A tough hand with some loses along the way, but still showing growth, hope, and love For myself, kids and my new partner at the end.
