I struggle everyday to try to figure out what my bi-polar mother is really capable of and what she needs me to do for her. I feel that I am being manipulated all the time and this makes me angry. Yet, I cannot leave her to her own devices because she is not taking proper care of herself and I don't want to feel that I have not done my duty by her. Anyone else find themselves in this constant dounble bind with a bi-polar parent?
