“Married To Mania” Is the Owner’s Manual 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
