"I truly believe is bi-polar and I can get help from no one -- not even the psych doc who is treating him for depression. My husband refuses to be honest about himself -- everything is my fault -- he has the doctor convinced I have bi=polar"
What does this mean? Does your husband acknowledge that he is depressed? Is he on medication? Has his doc shared a diagnosis with you? Has his doc told you that you're bi-polar or is that just what your husband tells you? Are you in treatment at all? You seem to understand that you're not responsible for your husband's anger. It might be helpful if you could find ways to distance yourself from it - I know much more easily said than done. Please keep posting.
