I am going through the same thing. My parents wont even acknowledge that i have bi polar and it hurts. I know this may sound strange but even my own ex husband whom I communicate with alot won't either and i need them too. I have had more supposrt from my friends and total strangers and this website. It really bothers me. My ex husband throws everything in my face and tries to tell me what i need to do. He just doesnt get it or understand. What do we do? I really need their support. Any suggestions? Plus we think our pregnant 19 yr old has bi polar also. I am so scared for her. Too many mood swings. Thank you for listening. I am grateful for the support that i do have. But not having the supposrt of my parents hurts most of all.
