Innerzone, I can relate to much you say about your mother (untreated, in denial and always right and your father is to blame).
However, in my case, she was right about my father (she still denies her part, though; doesn't even admit angry outbursts if her neighbours complain, pressured speech or stress-induced distractibility, hyperactivity and extremely bad working memory, acting on every new thought that pops into her mind as if on a mission from God, caring too much).

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
