I'm especially glad that you found my blog encouraging and informative, helping you to understand your parents better. The more of my posts that you read, the better you will understand. My children had to grow up under the chaotic umbrella of my terrible mood swings due to my bipolar disorder. I also went through my mother's episodes and hospitalization when I was 16. I know how frustrating it can be without answers. It's so good to hear that you have reconciled with your parents. It took my oldest son 8 years before he would talk to me again, but now we are reconciled, too. I wish he had done what you did, because maybe he would have come to me sooner. Thank you so much for sharing your story. If you would like to be interviewed about it for www.bipolarcentral.com as a supporter of a loved one (your mom, your parents) with bipolar disorder, contact me at bpsurvivor@gmail.com.

I'm doing a school project on it and started checking out the web for some better information than I could recieve from a book. I think it's great that you are able to speak about having bi polar, it helps me to understand. See, my mom and dad both have bi polar but were not able to take care of me growing up. im now 18 and graduating this spring, and have been spending more time visiting my parents. It's not that I see my mom and dad as abnormal, but it can be really hard trying to understand. There's alot of days when mommy couldn't get me from school because she was admitted into the hospital. I was told she was there because she was sad. I blamed myself. That's what I grew up believing, but I now understand that it was not my fault, and even though they were never able to raise me I love them more than anything. My mom is divorced from my dad and re married to another man who also has bi polar. They never get out to dinner with friends or any such things, but I wish the world could see what a beautiful person my mom is! I thought i'd share my story the way you share yours, your blogs help me understand my parents illness. keep it up, writing is one thing my mom loves, and her favourite way of coping with a dark day. I'm sure you agree Happy new year I came across your blog by researching bi polar.
