I don't think its possible to expect family members to really understand what bipolar is like ,, I mean how could they? I tend to talk to my Bipolar friends I have made here.. They get it, They understand ,, We can vent to eachother .. which helps take the pressure off feeling the needs to talk to everyone else about it.
My husband knows what to look for( basic info) if I am really having a problem .. if / when they pop up he will step in and talk to me about it. But Bipolar doesnt take up much space in my marriage because I dont allow it to.
