Hello All, I am brand new to this forum. I came tonight in hopes of getting some advice on my oldest child. She was diagnosed 10 years ago. We had many ups and downs at first but then she got on medication which seemed to help.

After her graduation she moved and decided to no longer take her meds. She honestly has been doing extremely well the last few years. Then recently she met a new man. They moved in together with a month of knowing one another. She has been very stressed and he proposed to my dd a few weeks later. The holidays came up and we all got together. However I noticed she did not seem like herself. We all were playing cards and out of the blue she got upset and left the room. I checked on her and she was crying and so depressed and upset about everything in life. She had a lot to drink that night (her drinking has been out of control), so I chalked up her behaviour to that. The next day the same thing happened but this time she was mad at me. She brought up how I was a horrible Mother who completely messed her life up and she hates me. I was so confused, 2 minutes before this conversation we were saying how close we were and how we have become best friends through the years??? She continued to say all these crazy things of what I had done to her as a child that NEVER even happened. She blamed me for her childhood and adulthood problems. As I said before, none of what she was saying is the truth but in her mind she has convinced herself it’s the truth. She blames for everything bad in her life and doesn’t accept any responsibility for herself or actions.

I am wondering if this is common for someone who is bipolar? To blame the closest person in their life for their own issues? And secondly, can you go for a period of time not showing symptoms and then have them come back?

Thanks for listening, my heart is so broke tonight 💔
