Hugs to you. I am 99.9% sure my mom is BP also, in fact her worsening behavior as she gets older is part of what motivated me to seek treatment for my own mood swings. I don't even speak to her any more, she's just too big of a trigger for me and I can't trust her behavior around me or my family and I can't deal with her emotional issues anymore, I have enough of my own. My dad is an alcoholic and has other issues as well...it can be so frustrating to deal with family stuff like this, especially when you can see how it has or is affecting you. I agree you should try to move out ASAP and focus on taking care of yourself and your family - try not to let others' issues stop you from doing that. I know it's easier said than done.
