Take care of it. My family is convinced something happened to my mom when she was young and she's never spoken about it......whatever it was, it has made her bitter, angry, defensive, and unpredictable. She might be BP but she might have PTSD too. Time hasn't healed her - she's lived her entire life like this. And she's adamant that it never be spoken, a typical post Depression, Irish Catholic approach to life. I remember clearly her always waving everyone off when we would press her on it. She figured she could muster inner resistance and solider on but all it has done is eat her up. Best to address it and move forward in a positive way because what happened will never change. No shame here, just moving forward and healing.
