My father was married and divorced 8 times.
My mom just divorced once and remarried. I wonder if there's less active bipolar symptoms with a more stable family life?

My parents are still together and have had a very stable marriage. My BP started young and got severe but I also had PTSD from other abuse I was suffering so that may have contributed. I think any type of trauma, including parents divorcing, as a child is a big risk factor for developing BP and making it more severe. You of course have to have the genes/pre-disposition for it though.

I agree about trama bringing bipolar out more. I had swings that weren't diagnosed bipolar until I had a big trauma when we lost our house in the housing crash. Then I got horrible, almost non-functional, mostly manic. I'm sure the trauma triggered me.

Yes. Housing trauma is bad. We lost most of our house in an earthquake. I think it got my ptsd going.

Living with my mom was traumatic and I had lots off stressful episodes. That's why it's surprised me that I've had some since moving out.

My parents were divorced but the hell didn't start until my mom died 6 months later and my dad moved his pregnant mistress into my moms bed. THAT is when i really snapped because that's when the abuse began. I blame my PTSD on that but as far as BP, I think we're born with a predisposition to it from the start. I believe that even if my parents stayed together and were happy, I'd still end up MI.
