Oh, I didn't know they understood the disorder, disregard my former rambling.
My son was about 15 when I melted down and got my DX, Bipolar-II(mild) triggered from family issue, I'm sure.
He's a sophmore now in college, major is psychology, maybe that has made things between us good, him having knowledge of some disorders?
I feel so badly, that you have to deal with this, it's bad enough you are the one struggling with BP.
Please never feel guilt about this, it's not your fault, no one chooses to have disorders/illness.
