RE: Making A Change - Weekend Experiences #163

Wow, I'm sorry to hear the challenges you went through growing up. A bipolar mother who was self treating with alcohol is not the easiest thing for any child to live with. It's good she tried to make amends before she died, I'm sorry to hear you lost her and your grandmother. I've never really recovered from losing my parents. Thanks for sharing all this very personal information, and I'm sure you will do great raising your daughter!

I think it was around my early teens when they found out she was bipolar not long after my grandmother died, she totally derailed and so it came to light. But all the years before, she was "only" drinking while in fact, this was probably not adding to make her feel better and be stable without medication as she wasn't diagnosed yet.

Sorry to read you never really recovered from them dying, I guess you had a great bond with them because I see the difference with my boyfriend losing his parents and the impact it made compared to my own loss. Although it does stir up some memories and I'm sure the big punch will come later even though we weren't living close to each other for years.

I guess in a way, I'm lucky that I will probably not have that huge burden of never recovering from it. Every downside has an upside, doesn't it?

I'm doing my best, she's a challenge sometimes though lol. But at least I'm very aware of the mistakes made in the past when handling her issues. At least it was good for something :)

At the very least you are much less likely to make her mistakes, as parents we all make mistakes. The difference being you are focused on making sure your daughter is happy and thriving. On your mom, I guess there are always two sides to the coin so you're right!

My ex wife was bipolar so it's a disease I know all to well, and I feel for you growing up with her challenges.
