my daughter and I were talking and she talking about her future, Im very proud of her of course, she just said I don't want to be like u mom and be h ome all day and do nothing. I was so hurt. I have a bachelors degree, I worked all my life, I stayed home to raise my kids but I didn't plan on Bipolar taking over my life. I didn't plan on spending the last 3 yrs on the couch, because of her lousy dad , divorce, custody battle, and every battle every week he wants to fight. I never wanted to be on disability, THIS ISNT THE LIFE I WANTED!!!!!! I Guess I never really looked into the future and gave it much thought, I doing good on my meds, and I can volunteer, it just hit me the wrong way
