My husband is bipolar. He is going through a manic time now. I don t know how to communicate to him without him blowing up at me about anything I say that seems controversial to him but not to me or anyone else normally. It is rage, lashing out verbally, grandiose ideas, spending money, etc... He has been sober for 10 years but has these episodes twice a year at least. He threatens divorce and down grades and tries to control me often. I am at my wits end. I have been going through this for our 9 years of married life now. He can be quite nice and a great person but this seems to be an underlying problem all the time in his life. Can you help? I need support somehow...
