Amen to that!
Lol, the bp family is a weird thing, but i'm so used to it.
I took the 2 teens to Denny's for dinner the other night. I've been manic, my son was stoned and in a good mood, my daughter was crying and stayed in the car. So my son and I began tearing up little pieces of napkin and paper and blowing them at each other across the table, I found it quite amusing. my daughter finally came inside with us and we said, why are you crying, why are you said? and she snapped, "because i'm bipolar!" my son asked what we could do to help. and i said why we can't just all be manic at the same time, would be much more fun. she said, "it doesn't work that way mom". .... lol and it really doesnt work that way. she started to eat and we made her laugh. This was a fabulous dinner!
Love is my consistency. There is little else I'm able to stay consistent about, since I really cant figure out when the moods are going to hit. it's been judgement and advice from every direction - you must be consistent and discipline! My consistency is my love for them, unwavering. Just a human woman takin it day by day. I hope your sons ok, hope it's not bp, but if it is he's got mom's wealth of experience to help.
