I have been in a long term relationship for ten years we have 3 kids together. in the past he has hit me a few times. It is not an everyday or even monthly thing but it has happened. My problom is the name calling and the well everything. He belittles me in front of my children and picks stupid fights with me constantly. I think he os bi polar he goes up and down like a roller coaster ride. One minuite he is the man i fell in love with and we get a long great and than in the next instant he's calling me a ***** and a **** and a junky( i take percocet for pain and have been weaning myself off of them) Just last week I told him that i could not take it anymore and that i was going to leave. he slemmed my head repeadedly against the wall. I need to know does this sound like mental illness and there may be help or he is just sick and i should run. someone please help i haver no clue what to do

Sounds like signs of a classic abuser to me. I think you need to get yourself and your children as far away from that man as fast as you can.

i think you know the dangers of one getting so mad someday it will get worse and also what about the children what will they think is this ok what dad does will they also do it, when they grow up , and think of what they hear look around read the newspaper have you ever talked to one who is abused daily they are there or were get out while you are still in one peice and say nothing until you file for divorce also if you stay the children will suffer if you are still alive that is- and the children will think this is the way of life and they will have problems when they are grown-yes he is an abuser and will get worse as time goes onleave while he is gone and go fast lots luck jo

Been there-done that...IT"S ABUSE!!! whether he's an "un-diagnosed" bi-polar or just an abuser, slamming your head constitues physical abuse. Calling you names and degrading you constitutes emotional and psychological abuse. Get out now because he is SERIOUSLY going to hurt you or worse! Don't become a statistic like women in the same type of situation your in that you read about or see on the news whose spouse have killed the wife and/or kids and then themselves. We're all "those other people" to someone-remember that! Your gut/concious/or spirit is giving you the feeling to leave. Go far away to a relative or friend he would least expect you to go to. Explain to your children daddy is "sick" and we have to go away so he can get help. Let him get help because some partner don't want to get help and become more frustrated when you leave, esp. with the kids and came become a SERIOUS threat when they feel "all hope is gone". God bless you and follow your gut. Children are more resilliant than we give them credit for and you could poss. get them a therapist to talk about their feeling and how to deal with separation,divorce, etc.
