Quote From: tambalinaTake it from someone who knows..............This is a road that only the person afflicted can hoe. You can push her into a hospital but 9 out of 10 times your Loving gesture will just be resented. Ive had many family members of BP patients ask advice and I tell them in MY case my family did me a great favor by allowing me to take care of me in the best way possible with the tools I had. Bit by bit I got stronger. Its a great deal like allowing the achoholic to hit bottom......but in this case if there are kids then as my family did......keep an eye. You have no idea how much a small word of kindness can heal. Also I sugest YOU go to support groups, learn from a DBSA group first hand by their storys. They also have a fabu;ous group for families.

Tam Take it from someone who knows.....she will be as bad as everyone around her allows her to be. If limits are not set and held, she will test them (like a small child will) constantly. We all have highs and lows, but a few have no breaks to control them.
