When You Need Some Advice Don’t Ask Twice… Ask Dr. Karen!
***To all my on-line readers, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support and your comments. They are appreciated and valued.
Dear Dr. Karen:
I’m a single woman who is intelligent, kindhearted, and attractive. I recently ended a relationship with a man who is bipolar and refuses to seek help. Recently, he invited me to a party. I saw very little of him and was pretty much left alone. When I gently expressed my concern, he screamed, “Get out!” and started swearing at me. He made quite a scene.
I realize I’m stupid to want him and I should move on. We seem to want the same things, but his mood swings are off the chain! What is his problem and what can I do to help him?
Mental Case
Dear Mental Case:
You ask what on earth is his problem? To borrow a phrase from teenagers, “Duh?” He is an un-medicated, bipolar person. As long as he won’t address the problem of his mood swings, there is no place on the swing for you.
