Since it is impossible to really understand what someone else is going through, and you can only try...I would suggest reading books from the bipolar person's point of view such as Patty Duke's account, Kay R. Jamison's An Unquiet Mind, Styron's Darkness Visible about depression...you can go to the DBSA national website and find a lengthy reading list. There are also books about being the caretaker, mother, spouse...the most loving support person will never really understand...and understanding is not the be all end all anyway. From my own experience, I would rather hear, "I cannot fully comprehend what you are going through, but know that I am here for you and what can I help you with?" One more thought, you may want to attend a support group for family members in your area to gain more insight. Good luck to you and your husband.
