Two children, now two young men. Neither stay in touch. I don't know where they live. I haven't heard their voices this year....

A father with Bipolar who feels very much misunderstood and unheard.

To anyone out there who can relate....my heart hoes out to you. No amount of therapy, no drugs, no medication, no destraction can take away the facts. But they numb the pain. The pain of a broken heart.

I feel your pain

Have you been peeking in at my life? I've got the same problems, lots of listening followed by we'll help then nothing.

I'm in the same position. The weight of my world is pulling against the weakest link in the chain (me) and I'm about to break! I hope things get better for you.

I should just go away for a while so they don't have to see me.

Please don't feel that way! I think one of the drawbacks to these types of forums is that there can be a flood of posts. A single post can be moved down quickly if not bumped. Please stay. I hope you are having a better day.
