Living with Bipolar Disorder

in june of 07 my wife and i were ready to purchase our second home,we have twin 4 year old boys,and lets see it started at the closing table when i found out my wife had taken and did i dont know what with our life savings of 37 thousand dollars it really heated up after we left the closing table without sealing the deal i went to our bank my wife said they couldn’t release our savings account.

she had all sorts of stories as to why after leaving the title company we went to the bank so i could find out what was going on,she pleaded with me not to go to the bank so now i was really concerned as i exited the car which contained the boys and my wife she took off from the parking lot with the kid in haste when i came out from speaking with the manager of our bank and finding there was no money.i contacted my local police dept. explained what was going on and that i feared for the children the police in turn arrested me on false battery charges allowing my wife to leave the state with our children,i was released she came back i have tried to hold things together for the kids and money could be replaced not my family.

she admited to the courts she lied about the battery and that she didnt know what else to do when i found out about the savings.i talked her into seeking counseling but she stopped going and refused help,she stabalized until sept of 07 when i came home from work to again being arrested on aggrevated battery she told the police i cut her with a knife earlier that morning,again she came clean was or seemed very remorseful i said she needed to get back into therapy she went and we went as a family because this behavior is really affecting our innocent children and they are very confused she had told the kids i cut her which in fact was not true her parents suggested i take control of all the finances and i did after finding out she had charged over 50 grand in credit ,she admitted she lied to the police and courts and that i never assaulted her. again she became stable still no medication,her wealthy parents told me she has had this condition since a child and has been hospitalized as a youth she has an extensive adult criminal record prior to us marrying that i found out about afterwards but people make mistake i never had to deal with a person with this illness before .

today i came home from work as always to find she had spuratically taken off with our children again fortunately no arrest this time she has gotten involved with a friend who herself is in a big messy divorce herself after cheating on her husband of 15 or so years. my wife is very impressionable and i dont think her friend has been a good influence on her.she stopped going to counsling again and has run off with the kids telling everyone lies again and lord knows what else,i have tried to contact our dcf agent from the last time but she wont respond back,i have contacted the law enforcrment agency again and am getting know help there either.

every time money gets tight or she doesnt know how to handle a situation she has a manic attack i cant continue to go through this nor can my children whom i love very much these actions of hers are out of control and all her parents say is they will take the kids from me what can i do?? is there any help for me and my children .i love my wife but im at my wits end and have run out of people or places to turn to.

I wish i could be in more detail but with current events today i am just to upset,i dont think she would ever hurt our children but i can’t be sure anymore you here bad stories and they always end up tragically i dont want to have to bury my children what can i do? and who can help us ? i am very scared for my children and i dont know what she is capable of any more.
