I’ve been neglecting my blog and all other sites for quite some time for one simple reason - I’ve had so much on my plate and I just could not handle it. In short, my marriage came to an end but with the twist.

My wife was diagnosed with BP, for those who do not know what BP is - BP is a bipolar disorder. Basically, it is an illness that results in a person not being able to distinguish between the reality and the fiction created by her ill mind. The biggest problem with BP patients is that they do not understand that there is something wrong with them and refuse any kind of treatment.

So, my wife was getting those manic episodes every spring for the last 3 years. The episodes lasted for 4 and more months and afterwords she would go into deep depression state. I’ve been with her all that time  - taking her to a hospital, caring for her, dealing with police, children services (we have a child).

Last spring, during her manic episode, she basically started sleeping around and making me aware of it. Well, that was an end of the marriage for me. In December of 2009 she called the police and filed the assault charges against me. Basically I was kicked out of the house, separated from my child, etc. I hired a criminal lawer and fought the case in court. I was able to negotiate a deal with the crown procecutur - I attend the anger management classes and the charges against me would be completely dropped - there will be not a single trace of the charges in my file. So, I agreed.
