I, too, am BPII and though never divorced (never got married to him), I have had my ex threaten me with revealing my history of mental health issues to the court when I appealed for a increase in child support. In my particular case, it wouldn't have mattered because my ex's history of poor conduct so far outweighs anything that he could say that he doesn't have a leg to stand on. However, my attorney did tell me that as long as I am med compliant, have a network of mental health providers for me and my son and assistance in the event of hospitalization (ie family, friends) - nothing he can say will hurt me in the eyes of the court.
It's not easy being bp or any of the host of issues that I have... but I would rather be me than him any day of the week!
Take care and keep fightin' the fight! darips to Rockets: sometimes 50/50 is not fair... each case is different.
