Hi,

My Mother is in denial. She believes I was misdiagnosed as bipolar and will someday be all normal and return to a corporate job. I believe it is guilt bc the alcoholism in her family was probably undiagnosed bipolar. My Dad is military and thinks I am dramatic, attention seeking, and should be able to pull myself up by the boot straps.

It still infuriates me, but I just try to ignore them. I'm mean my gosh when I was in my 20's I cut my arms so deep it took 20 staples from the ER. Who does that but an ill person?! I also know they can be toxic and I limit my time with them. Now I'm in AA for addiction and they also think that is bs.

To thine own self be true,

TnT
