Blow ups are common in everybody's families. Not just our bipolar friends.
The thing that I've realized in my life (just got diagnosed a few weeks ago) is that you need to just hold your self accountable for your actions and do the right thing at the right time.
If it was affected hat badly, explain and apologize. We can't use our bipolar as a crutch and we can't blame things on bipolar. However, we can do what's right in the end.
Sometimes talking and explaining that your opinion still matters, however, your bipolar caused to to react the way you did.
I hope things get better soon. No matter what they always manage to work out.

I don't blame things on my Bipolar, but I think that it can in some cases be cause for overreacting or extreme emotions. It's just about what you do with them and it can be a bit harder with bipolar, but ultimately, yes the person still must be held accountable (unless in an extreme state of unwellness where they are psychotic...hate that word btw).
I'm set in my decision to put him out of my life. I went to him tonight and I said "I am sorry we faught. I am not apologizing for what I said but how I said it."
He had his typical response "you [insert bunch of blaming stuff] and you [more blaming stuff", etc. He-once again- took no responsibility from his wrong-doings and said "don't expect an apology from me. I think and say what I want and I do not give a **** who has a problem with it" (aka in my opinion is like saying "oh well I can be an asshole if I want to and not be responsible for it"). He will never change. He simply isn't someone I can have in my life if I want any sort of peace and emotional stability.

When people stop getting a reaction they typically move on, the thrill is gone. |
Well, the only reaction he has got now is nothing from now on. I actually told him not to call, not to write, not to try and get someone else to get a hold of me, etc. He knows I want nothing to do with him and he is both unwilling and unable to change or accept any of his behaviors and attitudes. He is who is he. I'm done with that and he now knows it. Maybe one day he will learn. I just will not be the one to reach out to him ever again.
