    • About Me

      I am the mother of a Bipolar son who is 14 yrs old. My father had bipolar disorder and I exhibit s/s of it as well. I hate the fact that this is messing up my son's life and creating an already hormonal teenager's life more complications. I have tried many different combinations of meds but with no success longterm. I am a nurse and I feel really crappy that I can not help my son keep it together.
