Hi there...

New member here reaching out to find hope and a means to connect with the outside world. I promised myself that isolation would not shut me out again. Thank you for this opportunity and for using part of your life to improve the lives of others.

I'm a young widowed mom with two teens. I've had bipolar diagnosis for a couple years with declining functionality. Like many of you, I live with the aftermath of countless poor choices and broken relationships.
How do you do that with two kids? It causes misunderstandings with nearly every person we come into contact with. Sometimes they have the best science project in history, then have inconsistent homework grades because I was not well enough to continue to remind them to get it done. Ugh I want so much more for them.
It seems easy to express myself when I'm hyper...man do I get our lives ironed out then. When the up comes down the crash destroys my resolve along with any sense of capability. We need hope that lasts to help after the fire burns out.
