Hi SK,

I don’t have much to add, but I did want to mention a great book, I have read it several times. It’s called “hurt, people, hurt people”. You can buy it online at Amazon, or bookstore or rent it from library. I too suffer from mental illness, a personality disorder, severe anxiety, PTSD, panic disorder and major depressive disorder. I am currently in intensive CBT and DBT counseling and 12 step programs. The books tells alot about why we hurt the ones we love and how to stop this cycle. I live in housing with others with mental health issues for disabilities, and have lent them this book, and they say it has helped them with control issues, they too, have Bi-polar. I am glad you are working on yourself and your marriage. Keep us posted.
