Answer #1

Dear shellypie45, You know you did the right thing by moving on if you found him controlling. Being bipolar is no excuse for being controlling or anything else. Are you fearful that he may do something dangerous? Has he threatened you? Did he have a habit of not taking his medications? If you say yes then make sure you speak with a trusted adult about the situation. Have them know where you are at all times. Do not take his calls or entertain him in any way. If he goes to your school inform your teacher about him calling you so they will be alert about it also. If he continues then call the police and file a charge of harassment. We should not have to get over sensitive just because he is bipolar but if he has a habit of not taking meds and if he isn’t going to counselling then you do have cause for concern. Sue…good luck

Answer #2

Dear shellypie45, If he is controlling then you did the right thing by moving on. Do not answer his calls. If you feel you are in danger because he doesn’t take his meds, he isn’t going to counselling or he has threatened you then make sure you tell a family and friends about this and that they know where you are at all times. If he goes to your school speak with a teacher about this so they can record it and also keep an eye on the situation. If it continues call the police. Just because he is bipolar is no reason for bad behaviours. Sue…good luck

Answer #3

If you’re really struggling, you can block his number. If you feel that you made the right decision in dumping him, then you have to just trust yourself. If you want to move on, then do so. Controlling relationships are never good.. so I’m glad that you got out of that one! You can talk to a therapist if you want, although I’m not sure it’s really necessary. Try doing everything you can to NOT let him contact you first, then see how you feel from there.
