I think that people have the wrong view on bipolar...they have probably met at least a dozen people stricken with the illness in their life and had no clue, because they were medicated, lol. The people medicated obviously dont go around advertising the fact that they are. So, the ones that most people know of are probably the ones off their meds and not in a very good state. I find it funny that people are being so judgemental about her interaction with your child. No one is a perfect parent and I have seen many "sane" parents treat their kids like total ****. Their are many, many wonderful parents that happen to be bipolar. Their are many, many ****ty parents that arent. No offense but people are too quick to judge. Seems to me like the woman is far from being a complete lunatic, lol. Shes got issues, yes and its your choice what you do. I wont steer you in either direction. Just know that if you do end up with her, you will have to really take care of her. Learn about the illness, be supportive and keep a close eye out for symptoms of mania. I see soooo much in the homes that I visit on a daily basis, but none of the things you are saying to me seem to be too extreme for you or your childs safety, lol. Get a grip people, she is a person, not her diagnosis.

Yes, shes always a very good mom. Shes just extremely inconsistent . Yells too much and doesn't follow through on threats. Her boys are 12 and 13 and are starting to assert their own opinions and personalities. She can be very self-centered and really quashes their efforts. It causes lots of strife. She and I talked about it last week and I told her I thought it was neat how they were trying so hard to be men. She looked at it as rebellion. Ill try to give an example: Both boys beg her to take them to a specific park. She says no, for no reason, and takes them to a different one. There was absolutely no reason for her to do that except for control. the boys got upset and asked her why she never considered what they wanted to do. Her answer was "because I want too". That, to me, was a perfect time to let them in on a decision and show them I respected them. Honey, that's a contradiction of terms. You can't be a "good" mother and do what you say she is. This time is very crucial in her children's lives. Those ages require stability, and it's apparent she doesn't have it, or feel the need to have it. |

I am bipolar...Anyone can ask me any questions about it.
It can be moderately controlled with medication/and or therapy. Everyone is different. I can say alot about my personal experience, but like I said, everyone is different. I am wondering what her doctor said...did she tell you what his/her opinion was? |

It's easy to get "addicted" to a person like this. Quit the drug before its TOOOOO too too late.

I am bipolar and now know that I was afftected for 10 years before anyone could realize it. Then it took another 4 years for ME to accept there was a problem. All are different, I turned my illness against myself. I have been working towards control for years now, it takes good medicine, good therapy, but the most important work has to be done by the person themselves
