Dear Friend and Fellow Spouse of a Bipolar Partner,

Finally, There's A Bipolar Book for Stressed-Out Spouses

I'm Elizabeth Atlas, author of the new book, "Married To Mania: Jumping the Shark* Without a Seatbelt." It's a funny title for a topic that is far from funny...heartbreaking, in fact.

This book is about how to find your footing with a bipolar husband or bipolar wife and preserve your sanity in a marriage or relationship that's built on quicksand. Your bipolar husband or bipolar wife may make you feel that everyday is a new dawn. Deep down you know nothing in your past has prepared you for what will happen in your bipolar marriage today, tomorrow or next year.

It's a given: You love your bipolar wife or bipolar husband very much. "Bipolar" is not one of the top 10 adjectives you use to describe the love-of-your-life to other people. "Bipolar Disorder" may not even be in the top 100!

But if you're like me, "bipolar disorder" is on your mind all the time. Your bipolar radar flashes when you second guess your bipolar husband's financial decision making. Your bipolar radar arms when your bipolar wife drowns you in love and affection...because you know, very soon, you'll be hunkered down protecting yourself from a painful verbal assault and threats of divorce.

Many times I diagnosed my own condition as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). But it wasn't "Post." It is ongoing. So I decided to "stop the madness" on my part and learn how to "fish or cut bait."

I learned how to handle "my problem" of how to be married to a bipolar husband. Then I wrote a book to help other husbands, wives and partners, married to Bipolar Disorder (yes, it does seem that way most of the time!), who are caught in the same love/chaos/trauma drama I was in.

This is the book you'll read when you've already read
the hundreds of other websites, books and newsletters,
attended all the bipolar support groups and workshops and
exhausted the patience of your friends and family

• and you still don't have answers for YOU

Let me Repeat: The chaos in your relationship is not your fault.

When you love a bipolar husband or bipolar wife, your relationship is not on a level playing field with other loving relationships or marriages you've admired.

The relationship problem-solving skills that you learned from your relationship role models: your parents, your friends-even TV couples like "Lucy and Ricky" don't work in your marriage. Those relationships-yes, even the fantasy TV storylines (!)-will never have the same roadblocks and heartaches that you tackle every single day of your life with a bipolar husband or bipolar wife.

How much do you REALLY know about Marriage To a Bipolar Spouse?

Even if you've read a few books, surfed online and gone to a few support groups, you are no match for your bipolar husband or bipolar wife. In fact, you are at a tremendous disadvantage.

You Are in Bipolar Psychology "Kindergarten"

Your bipolar husband or bipolar wife has a "PhD" in Bipolar Disorder. This "degree" may not help him find a "cure" or steer him toward acceptance of his illness, but he's been through a lifetime of mental machinations that you will never understand or keep pace with. It's downright exhausting!

Here Are Just a Few of the Questions My Readers Have Asked Me
About Marriage to a Bipolar Husband or BiPolar Wife (...And My Response!)

• "Why do their moods change to where you absolutely do not believe they love you and you wonder whether or not they're even capable of love?"
  IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!
• "We have raging arguments and we're not very close. How can I get him to understand and accept that he has a problem and go get help?"
  IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!
• "Nine months after I divorced my bipolar husband, he killed himself by hanging. He was sober and this 'depressed' cycle wasn't different from hundreds of others he'd been through-even when he was off his medication. How could I have known?"
  IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

Think about it:

Haven't you already done everything you could think of,
plus more, to create a happy marriage to your bipolar spouse?

Your in-laws think you're an angel; your friends think you're nuts. You don't know what to believe anymore but you know something's broken and needs to be fixed. NOW. TODAY.

The only thing left is to take some of that good lovin'
you've been dishing out, and spend it on yourself.

On "How To Take Care of You"
When You're Married To a Bipolar Husband or Bipolar Wife!

My Story...

My husband was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder at age 40, one year before I met him. (He's now 55.) Prior to that, I had never known anyone with mental illness (who goes around talking about it?) and there was no evidence of it in my family (did you know there's a genetic component?)

I spent 3 years in denial, 5 years in therapy, 7 years in intense research to "figure this illness out" and 13 years doubting myself and beating myself up, knowing that if I could be a better wife, then...

...You fill in the blank.

If you're like me, you probably already have. Despite mountains of reading, exhaustive web searches, many support groups and discussions with my husband, I always felt terribly alone in my struggle.

Where were the other husbands and wives of Bipolar spouses??? I never met any. I never read about them. There were only 2 or 3 in my support groups. And they weren't interested in forming a "band of brothers." I felt totally isolated and helpless.

Albert Einstein said, "The definition of insanity
is doing the same thing over and over
and expecting different results."

Al was a very wise man. So I decided to try a new approach. And it worked for me! When I say "worked," it didn't solve my husband's bipolar disorder. But it saved ME!

There is only ONE ANSWER for saving people like us who are married to mania.

I identify and explain all the options in my book. In the "Married To Mania" E-book or printed copy (your choice), I give you a plan to grab back control of your life. You'll learn concrete ideas for handling unexpected mood swings, uncontrollable outbursts of anger, inevitable guilt and remorse (yours and theirs), and the devastating emotions you'll have when you realize that the life partner you've chosen is no longer the person you married.

Here Are the Facts:

The divorce rate is 2 to 3 times higher for families with mental illness than in the general population (which is already 50% and rising!)
60% of Bi polars have drug, alcohol substance abuse problems or other addictions like internet pornography
1 in 6 of those with Bipolar Disorder commit suicide

Think You Can Beat These Odds,
And Stay Married To Your Bipolar Husband or Bipolar Wife
Without any Outside Help????
How's that Been Working out so Far???

As much as you may love your bipolar husband or bipolar wife, your future will be seriously altered by having this person in your life. Whether you decide to stay in your relationship, or cut the ties and move on, you must base your decision on facts, not emotions. And that's exactly what I'll show you how to do in "Married To Mania."
How many times have you asked yourself these questions?

• What can I do to make our relationship less stressful?
• Will he ever get better?
• Will she ever be able to stop taking her medicine?
• Why can't I convince him to trust me?
• Will I ever be able to trust him?
• Why is he so hard on everyone around him who loves him?
• How can I predict when her mood swings will occur?
• How can I protect my children?
• Should I marry my bipolar girlfriend? My manic depressive boyfriend?
• Should I divorce my bipolar husband?
• I love him. Is there any hope for us?

I've made ordering "Married To Mania" very simple.
