I am grateful for everyone's support here and all of your advice. I'm still trying to figure it all out. I read other's entry's, people that live with someone diagnosed with BP. I truly understand where you all are coming from with the concern of abuse it's not anything new mentioned to me. Yet after reading what some others deal with, it appears many people diagnosed with BP can become mean and hurtful at times. Where is the line drawn between the diagnosis and when it becomes abuse? Is it that others may be more tolerant than I am and can brush it off and maybe I'm taking it too personally?
