There are two things I want to say from thehe start of this despite what she may say my mum is bipolar and secondly I do love her. Its just sometimes I find i really hard to like her. We've just been through a really difficult time with her and i went looking for some information that coulhelp. doyou know what i found. most of the literature is written from the point of view of the bipolar person or maybe a parent. there is very little from the point of view of the child. so i thought i'd share my experience.
this won't be full of medical facts or helpful tips, its just one person dealing with a mother who is bipolar.
a bit of background is in order. I'm 36 years old and the youngest of three sisters barely. my eldest sister is the mother of 3 children and is a recvovering alcoholic. my twin is 5 mins older than me and has severe arthritis in her knees and i suffer from depression myself. so none of us is perfect, but we are working to improve ourselves. I live with my twin
This blog will be to share my ongoing experiences with my mum and what effects it can have on my life
