I was diagnosed Bipolar I at age 43.. My daughter 3 months later at age 19..

Did I feel guilty? Of course, sure, absolutely !

She finally got me past it.. with common sense logic and some down right yelling at times.

She said she wouldn't change anything even if she could, She loves who she is. She's a musician... She is doing really well , Had a rough spot a month or so back.. But shes very proactive and she is not only living but thriving ..

There is Zero history of MI in my family or on her fathers side. So we just drew the golden ticket for some reason.

I know so many neurotypicals that couldn't handle a week let alone a day in my life.. I'm a super hero !
