I just want to say I think it is really nice that you are wanting to be supportive of your loved one. I am sorry that you are having such a difficult time right now. This is such a challenging disorder for both the person that lives with it and the people who are in their lives. You show great courage to be seeking out resources for support. I am not exactly sure what the forum rules are for linking to other places, but I know there is a bipolar disorder magazine/website that advertises itself as a resource that offers support to family and friends of people with bipolar disorder. If you google "bipolar magazine" I believe you should be able to find it. Good luck to you.
