It sounds like I might have a hard time with it. I always grew up hearing my mom pat herselfon the back about how she rose to the "Challenge" and succeeded raise poor little dingy me! Not a word about what a challenge it was having her for a mother sometimes. Point taken about the fact that it is from DS perspective, but I guess if you been sensitised to certain things, it might make some types of responses sto having a bipolar kid hard to take.
