Normal relationships are possible with bipolar. I'm married to my wife for 14 years. We have four kids, and live in a 4-br on three acres in a rural/suburbia area. It's a good relationship.

She's put up with my ups and downs, and I put up with her $h1t as well. Our kids are normal and well-adjusted, and we're living the Beaver Cleaver lifestyle.

It's not for everyone, but it works for us.
