Tractor Temp
Tractor Temp
If you love your man, and he gets abusive, what do you think is going on? If you consult a 'family worker' you're likely to be encouraged to leave him. Sometimes this is the right advice. But if you know in your heart (or your brain) that this man is usually loving and caring and fun to be with, where do you go? Many women are intimidated by their 'family worker' and act on their advice. I once subscribed to the same view that 'bad behavior' was, simply bad behavior. But my direct experience changed my beliefs.
There could be another explanation for his abusive behavior, one that your family worker simply cannot comprehend. Family workers are trained to spot 'bad behavior' and to help their client, the 'victim,' to run away. They don't ever consider that 'bad behavior' could be caused by anything that can be fixed, or treated.
I once worked as a temp for a place called 'Family Care'. At a morning break, I witnessed a conversation between two workers. I heard that one father was intermittently very abusive and scary to his children. For fun, I interjected 'Have you ruled out mental illness in this father?' One of the workers hissed under her breath 'Not yet.' They never did actually get him assessed.
I lived with two men at different times who have been abusive, manipulative, controlling, making me feel guilty for not coming up to their impossible standards. One of them deliberately set out to destroy my favorite things and get me to spend a lump sum of money that I had recently received. The other would episodically criticize me unfairly, and ask a young child to do dangerous things like drive the tractor. Both men had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Both intermittently hit the alcohol in a big way. Their similarity of behavior was due to bipolar and alcohol. Their difference was in their character. It took a while to figure out what behavior was symptom-driven and what was chosen behavior.
Abuse, like bipolar disorder, tends to run in episodes. Bipolar disorder is episodic too. It affects the person's mood, activity and thinking. Many people with bipolar disorder (men and women) use alcohol or other drugs when their disorder is active, to try to 'still the mind'.
This means that many people with bipolar disorder are seen by professionals as simply alcoholics, drug users, or abusers. Many people with bipolar disorder become extremely irritated, paranoid and upset when the disorder is active, leading them to criticize everyone around them and to terrorize those closest to them.
One of the men I lived with sought treatment. The doctors saw through the alcohol and abuse. They diagnosed bipolar disorder. Within 36 hours of taking a mood stabilizing agent, the man had stopped drinking, stopped being paranoid, stopped giving me a hard time and returned to being the nice fellow I had met.
He stayed that way until he forgot two doses in a row. Guess what? The paranoia, abuse, and drinking all started up again. The final proof for me was when he resumed his medicine, the bad behavior disappeared again.
Too many relationships are being destroyed because the 'experts' ignore the possibility of mental illness. Bipolar disorder affects one person in every fifty to one hundred. That's one person on every bus. It's common. And it's treatable!
You've heard not to throw the baby out with the bath-water. Well, if you're about to throw your abusive Baby away, pause a moment. See if you can get him assessed for his mental health. If he is prepared to be treated, chances are you can get your relationship back on track, his health restored, your dreams alive!
