My son in law has been diagnosed Bipolar and placed on medications a few years ago. We were unaware of his illness until my daughter became pregnant with their first child. During her pregnancy we witnessed him blow up for no apparent reason. Screaming, calling us names and damaging property. In the middle of our parade he struck my daughter full fisted in the face four times. When he was arrested they found a loaded weapon on him. They have a 5 month old daughter and I am terrified for her and my daughters safety. My daughter continues to defend her husband and blames his illness, medication and childhood for his actions. We are at a loss as how to help any of them. Is this violence a part of the Bipolar? Any suggestions or avenues would be greatly appreciatedView Thread
