I would be interested in reading the book. I’m always looking to learn more about mental health issues and it’s not often I get a perspective from someone who lives with and manages bipolar. I suspect a family member of mine has bipolar and would like to know how to handle some of the issues that are coming up. I think you could just start writing and see where things go. If it develops into something exciting and productive, I think your mom might come around to the idea.
