I spit in your direction!

Raising my son was not easy and I faced constant criticism. Still I stuck to my beliefs in how to raise him. I stood by him through some horrific stuff (did NOT do it for him; just was there for him).
Finally, he started doing well (he has bipolar, too) and today he gave me some good news. He works at an electronics type store (Best Buy) and after seeing him do a video, they call him to do all their PR in the future! Yeah!
I'm just really proud of him.
Here's the vid. He's Chris Casey..Gaming Expert!

I'd like to go back to all the people that criticized me endlessly and say "SCREW YOU, ASSHOLES! I SPIT IN YOUR DIRECTION!"
Sorry guys....just had to share and vent!

It's hard being a bipolar parent and really hard having a son with bipolar but I think I did OK?

I used to feel so bad because my son didn't like school and refused to go. He got his GED, is a fine dining food server, great cook and nice guy. He doesn't do drugs or smoke. He has a very nice girlfriend and a great relationship with his parents. Determined people find a way to get through hard times.
