While I feel for anyone and everyone who's family drives them nuts (my mom's ignorance used to wind me up a lot) I don't understand what you guys mean by them being triggers...

Do they trigger actual bipolar episodes?
If that's the case, that must be really rough I can't even imagine that (well to a certain degree I kinda can, because I have bpd and get triggered into mini-sodes by certain ppl) but still, I can't imagine what life would be like if people triggered my bp too...

Guess I should be glad my bp is so random.

So sorry your mom can be such an idiot. I'm glad you chose to protect your sobriety and vent here instead.
