Me too, alcoholic dad. i know he would've been bp too if he'd had right dx. But he got help from AA, and exercized a lot, read self-help books, but continued to have episodes where he'd cheating on my mom, or depressed staying in his room right after work. i'd eaves drop on their fights, luckily they didn't include me in the details of the affairs he had. my mom was mostly calm, nice, fun, a little depressed sometimes.

i felt like we didnt fit in, in the neighborhood. my p's were a little anti-social and we didn't have a lot of friends over and i liked it like that too.

im going to look for the ACOA board, thanks Moose
