Dang, BlueInnana......I can't even imagine what your family life's been like. My mother was probably BP, my grandmother had a "nervous breakdown", and my sister's always been dysthymic, but I'm the only known bipolar in the family and God knows I create enough drama for several people. (So far one of my grown sons has shown a likelihood of being BP as well.) I cannot fathom what it must be like to have a whole houseful of BPers. Lord, give this woman strength!
