Lonely,
If Your husbands' mood stabilizing medication is effective then he should loose the violent reactions within a month. As his mood cycles decrease his memory should improve. This has happened to me. For ten years I was pretty well normal thanks to Lithium and Prozac. I hope that this happens for your husband.
My concern is that too much emphasis is placed on Mania because so many manic husbands kill thier wives. I do things to avoid this. For example I pick fights with strangers to channel anger away from my wife. This is easy to do and effective. Engaging in dangerous sports that terrify you and leave you phisically drained also helps to ensure a healthy home relationship.
Perhaps you could suggest these things to your Spouse. I do hope that he can find a way to avoid making your life a living hell.
Sincerely,
JimP
