Mark's story is about the tragic effect of severe mental illness on all family members. He married his beautiful wife for love and life. But over time, her erratic and challenging behaviour, its adverse effects on the family and several misdiagnoses resulted in a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Mark felt trapped in their relationship but could see no way out until a series of incidents revealed the need for intervention. Eventually, Mark separated from his wife but had to undergo his journey of healing as a victim of family abuse.
