[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]These judging comments hurt. I'm currently divorcing my husband due to his anxiety disorder that was sucking the life out of me. [b]There was no future in which I could be happy with him.[/b] This isn't something I'll share with people though, it's his private business. And for that I'll apparently be judged[/quote]

You see?  and THAT right there is what we judge you for.  And the point of this.  you knew about his disorder (or should have) before you married him and rather than figuring out a way to make it work, it's all about YOU being HAPPY.  I hope you don't have kids.  The woman in our neighborhood has older kids, but it's the same attitude:  I"M not happy.  I can't be happy.  ME ME ME unfortunately at the expense of the family.[/quote]

You know nothing of mental illness.  Anxiety disorders are not always apparent from the outside.  Anxiety disorders are often missed for years by medical doctors, so how do you think untrained partners should be able to diagnose them?  Sometimes they are manageable but sometimes something shifts in life that suddenly worsens them or medications stop working.

I am not the PP to whom you respond, but go ahead and judge her.  I am judging you too now for your ignorance and narrow-mindedness.

One of the best things I did was get myself and my kids out of my marriage with my mentally ill spouse.  We now have a chance to grow up happy and healthy.  I still maintain a relationship with my ex and so do the kids and it is healthier and happier now that the kids and I spend the majority of our time without him in a safe a stable home.  Surprisingly, without the responsibilities and stresses of parenting, my ex is also healthier and happier.

We have figured out a way to make our family work, even if you judge it to be wrong.  [/quote]
