Mom tries to understand, but she's scared to death of me (thought I intended to kill her a few times since being dx'd). Dad is heartbroken because he thinks I'll never be able to lead a normal life. Older brother doesn't know what to think. Younger brother in constantly concerned because his friend's father was also a bp alcoholic and became violent and abusive before they got him more help (the friend cried the day my bro told him of my dx)
