Sounds like my parents in terms of ignorance. They think anyone with BP "should be locked up for the rest of their lives because they're a danger to all those around them. This is what they used to do back in the day."

Actually, my sister's friend's mom has BP, and once my parents found out, they told my sister that she wasn't allowed to hang out with that girl anymore. They said her mother "might severely injure" my sister. (This was like 4 years ago.)
