I don't think anything you said is bad parenting. I haven't learned to work around my BP though, even when my kids demand my attention. I have, especially in the past, had hallucinations, or worse for me, delsusions that I would live out. Even now when my awesome doctor worked quickly to get me to a safer point, I am still wrapped up in myself. I just get so wrapped up in things, that nothing else matters. I don't mean to be. Anyway, I know that wasn't the point of your post; it just struck me because I want to work around my bp, or better, remail well, but I don't know how.
