Thank you raindrop for understanding, it is a very hard situation to be in, especially with my mother. I am bipolar and she has an undiagnosed mood disorder as well, there is always tension between us. And she is very inconsistent with the advice she gives me about dealing with my son, one second he's being a normal 2 year old going through his terrible twos, another second he is out of control and I don't know how to handle him. She does the same thing to me as well... One minute I'm fine there's nothing wrong with me, the next I'm irrational and need help. If I try to talk to her she will take it as an offense and it will start a huge fight, I know her. I am just hoping I can get out of their house soon. don't get me wrong i am so greatful my parents let us live here, because we were not on our feet when I got pregnant. But it's not the environment I would like my son to grow up in, especially when my mother is so hot and cold towards him, and me.
