We have been married 23 years and have 4 children. He is getting worse and refuses to admit he is bipolar though he has been diagnosed. He is verbally and mentally abusive to the children and me. He has gotten worse with age. I married him in sickness and in health but he is making the children and me ill.
 
If your husband refuses treatment for his illness and his illness is causing him to harm you and/or your children, then you have a right and duty to protect your children and yourself from him, including by means of legal separation (i.e., civil divorce). You may want to consult with the Pastoral Solutions Institute, a Catholic counseling apostolate, to determine whether or not you need to take this measure at this time.
