I just had an episode with my son who is 25 and living in another state.We spoke on the phone which led to an argument.He has not been diagnosed with bipolar but I'm pretty sure he has it .I also believe I may be suffering from it too.I too cannot take it when he blows up out of control for my own wellbeing.Our relationship has been very difficult.At times he is just so verbally abusive and the last time I spoke to him I told him to have anice life and that I didn't want to talk to him anymore.I am getting ready to call him and ask him to really try to not to speak to me that way and I in turn will respect him also.He knows that there is a problem within himself and has talked about getting help.I know that Personally with me trying to control my moods is really  hard.It is like having a t really bad case of pms at times.It feels like your saying things you know are mean and hurtful at the time and you just can't stop yourself.You can actually feel your blood boiling.So don't be too hard on her,maybe we just need to tell them we will talk to them when they're in better spirits and let it go till they calm down.I never got to watch the show today,I was really looking forward to getting some insight on the subject,but reading the message board has really been an eye opener.My prayers are with you.
