Sweetie, I'm so very sorry this has happened to you. You know, we cannot pick our family. And it's unfortunate. I wouldn't have picked MY family. Both my parents were alcoholics, and all us 4 girls got NO attention whatsoever. None. We NEVER got one hug, we were NEVER told we were loved - not once. We were just pieces of furniture.

You didn't deserve to be treated the way you were. And even tho your mother is BiPolar, she still knows right and wrong. Yes, she's very impulsive -- but she knows what she's doing is wrong. She gets angry, and just does things out of spite. I know that sometimes she can't control what she does -- but there's a limit as to what you can handle too.

Some people in our lives are toxic -- and that's when we have to get and stay away from them. Does she refuse help? Does she have a therapist? If she refuses help, and won't see a therapist, then you have to stay away from her. You can't continue to put yourself and your SON in a place to be hurt! Especially your SON -- he can't grow up remembering his grandma as being a course of pain!!! It's better he not remember her at ALL.

Breaking from your mother might be painful for you, but it's better than having your business being plastered all over Facebook! Stay away -- and you'll feel much more peaceful and serene. God bless and please take care of your little family. Hugs, Lee
