Well, she's much better off where she is now, let's put it that way... (died in 2007)

If I could un-remember anything in my life, those phone calls would be it. Talking mom down from suicide over the phone when she was so drugged up on sleep meds that she wouldn't remember it the next day? Awful.

That does kind of support the hypothesis that she was bipolar. Both the sleep problems and the drug-drunk bringing out the suicidal intentions. But it doesn't much matter now!
