My mother was an extremely bright, colorful, entertaining woman. She could also be very abusive. I am absolutely sure that she not only had BPD, but was the most BP anyone has ever been.

My father was, in appearance, very normal. His moods, however, were quite extreme. I've always thought he tended toward bipolar.

My step-father was highly intelligent and a complete, raving alcoholic madman. Violent, abusive (physically, sexually, emotionally), insane - when he was a 'man'. When he dressed like a woman he was gentle and demure.

Basically, I come from a very creative and very nutty family.

I lost my parents when i was quite young. I miss my mother.
