There is a genetic component to BP, that's been pretty well established.
Regarding your mother, we are not docs and can't diagnose. That being said, if my meds are off and I'm too up or too down, that sounds like how I treat my kids. If I'm up, I'm the greatest dad in the world. Fun-loving, caring, thoughtful, and kind. If I'm down, I isolate myself and don't want to be bothered by anyone. I'm distant, critical (without meaning to be), aloof, and probably in a remote area of the house or property.
I'd suggest you talk with a therapist about it, they may have some great insights.
