Thanks, WC. It may help a little. My one sister I can talk to has 3 girls 7 & under and is a stay-at-home mom. Her girls start school on Monday, so her house is sure to be chaos.

My other sister got the worse ACL tear her surgeon had ever seen repaired yesterday, is crying in pain because her pain medication is not working, and her husband's step-mother passed away last night. I can't put more on her plate.

My mom doesn't get it. She just doesn't.

My husband doesn't get bipolar mixed. He doesn't really even get hypomania, let alone mixed.

Pdoc's cell phone number is on my cell phone, and I will use it if I need to (but I hope I don't).
