I am going to NAMI family to family. It is for family members of bipolar. I am going becasuse my son is bp, and so am I. It has been hard for me because I can not relate because I am on the other side. I wish I could change the way I think, but I can't, so I will contiue to go for my daughter in law. She is strugling relating to my son, and she so wants to relate to him, I just treat my son the way I would want to be treated. Listening to all the stories makes me feel so sorry for them that have children who have bp. They strugle with guilt and frustration, and that is what I feel with my son. I am trying hard but it gives me anxiety, but I need to take care of myself while dealing with my son. To top it off my sister is bp and is not medicated like she needs to be. She lives with my dad and he is going nuts because he can't talk to her, I have trouble with her too. Please say a prayer for me to not go over the edge with all I have to deal with.
