I live in a rural area. There aren't a lot of houses around us. Our neighbors have a son the same age as my son and they have played together since they were infants and they get along quite well. They use to let their son come over and play with my son. They found out through the grape vine that I am bipolar. Ever since then they won't let their son come over and play with my son. This is very upsetting to me. My son doesn't understand why his friend is not allowed to come over. He has to go over to their house if he wants to play with him. I thought about saying something but haven't because I don't want to cause conflict and hurt my son's friendship. Please let me know your suggestions. Thanks!

Terrible situation. Time is a great healer.

I don't really find it that surprising. Most people don't understand bipolar disorder, and there have been so many news reports of crazy things done by so-called bipolar people that we have a bad reputation as a result. Anyway, I would let your son play with his friend at his friend's house for a while and look for an opportunity to educate his parents on what bipolar disorder is and what it is not. Hopefully, in time, they will realize that you are a good person, rather than a risk, and they will allow their son to play at your house.

What about asking the mom over for coffee? You might find an empty spot in conversation to bring it up. WHo knows, perhaps she might bring it up. No pressure to say anything. Just keep it a social situation.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
