I have been married to my husband w/ BP for 20 yrs and have an 18 yr old son also with BP. A month ago I told him I thought it was too hard to stay married although I love him dearly. He is very good about taking his meds, appts, etc. but still of course struggles and is very hard for me. I'm feeling A LOT of guilt regarding my decision. I'm going very slow so he and my son have time to digest all this. I'm 48 and just want a few yrs of "happiness". My question is, how do you get past the guilt of leaving someone who is ill and trying to do everything they can to take care of themself. Note, my husband's first wife left him right after his diagnosis. Any thoughts?
