My mother and sister are BP, and my uncle committed sx and was before that suspected of BP as well. I had a very traumatic past (because of direct family dx as well as other things) so that also (I heard) played a role in my BP.
I believe it's very possible to be BP without a family history, there's a good article about it on here somewhere I think?
