Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.

my mother left my sister and i for a man. she told her goddamn children that she never wanted to see them again and left. find out later on that she’s with another man, mind you, she’s still married to my father. there is so much pain in my family right now and i can’t stop feeling sorrow for my dad. i truly hold absolutely no love for my mother and i still cannot fathom why she would do this. she is bipolar but that does not excuse her throwing away her children. for a man. maybe i’ll never understand but i hold a lot of anger against her right now; i’m not as mad as i was when it initially happed but i think i will always resent her. i can handle the hurt, i can get over this i’m sure. however i cannot handle how she hurt my dad and my sister. i don’t really care about myself but knowing that they are hurting kills me. i don’t know how i can help them

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

Bipolar makes people act in ridiculous and sometimes hideous ways. It's a reason, but not an excuse. And when it's the result of poor self care on your mothers part (ie off meds, substance abuse, etc) it makes it harder to excuse.
All you can do right now is be there for your family members.
Hugs to you, your dad and your sister. I know the rollercoaster is terrifying.
