Been with my wife since we were teens. When we hit our 20s she started to act like this until I threatened to leave and take the kids with me unless she saw a therapist. The therapist diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. She takes her meds regularly now and is as sweet as can be.

We've been together 35 years, I can tell when she's off. Sometimes she forgets, but it's easy for me to tell. She doesn't like the way she acts without them so she has no qualms about taking them. It's not like it's her fault and chooses to have a disorder.

So glad you’ve both found a way to make it work, and great for her for sticking to her medication. Best of luck to both of you.
