Quoting karisma22:My first husband was a pathological liar. He couldn't tell the truth to save his life.
My ex is too. One of the reasons he was so good at hiding his "addiction" from me for so long. And why I thought all those years I deserved to be treated the way I was. He was sooooo good at lying. He could pass a lie detector with flying colors because he BELIEVES his lies.
I've only been married once. If I was stupid enough to agree to elope with him when I found I was pregnant with my ex I could list several of those though.
I'll admit that I don't really know much about mental illness, but that just didn't seem like a good idea. There was a man in our city that was recently arrested for shooting and killing his mentally ill son. The look on the dad's face was just pure anguish. It was sad.
Quoting bi-polarmommy:
no shit his mom didn't get the baby, you dont leave an infant alone with a mentally unstable person, and paranoid schizophrenic is worse than bi-polar, and there were days when dh wouldn't leave the kids alone with ME when i was off my meds
Quoting mama3814:
Not good at all. It didn't help that I refused to leave our infant son at home alone with her. He said it wasn't fair that my mom got to keep him and his didn't.
Quoting Whaaaaaa....O.o:
Quoting mama3814:
I chose the "we argued too much" option. One of the biggest arguments was that he wanted to move his mother into our home. She actually did come stay for a while. She had been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic and hated to take her meds.
Not good.
some people literally cannot handle another persons mental illness, and that's no shame on them, until they do something irrevocable like shooting their mentally ill child
but leaving a child with a unstable person is just asking for disaster

My daughter's father and I were engaged but not married, and I left because he was
manipulative, mentally abusive and cheated.
I sure know how to pick them, don't I?
Quoting Jenniy:
After his car accident he started cheating, became very abusive mentally, physically and sexually, and he started drinking and smoking pot, and was such an ass at work he was fired. While I was saving for a divorce he took our son's disability money, got an attorney and kicked our kids and I out.
Did he hit his head during the car accident?
