Oh Perna, I really needed to laugh! I love your last line.

Sanityseeker, that sucks. And I think I'd almost agree with Perna and kill (ok, not kill, but maim) him over divulging something like that. Is this sister a friend of yours? Did she come to visit you or your son? Do you think when people do that they even realize how assish they sound?

I have found that people often whisper "bipolar" like I remember people whispering "cancer"... "such and such doesn't ever keep a job and he's cheated on his wife, but you know he's bipolar". Ug. It is maddening. And the reason that I have told about 2 people (besides those on here) about any of my mental health things.
