Your mom does not have bipolar disorder. The only way I get by is to remember a few things. Stop try and think about why she is acting the way she is, and verbal abuse can be ignored, and so no harm to one's health can be done. Healthy lifestyle gives me the strength.
I love my mom more than you can possibly imagine, why yesterday she bought me a $10salad with all the fixings. I love her, that is why I put up with her. All I get is I can stand to have my son be my doctor, and then I say about how I can't stand to see her suffer. She thinks she will die from stroke as fate does it to her. She hates having it said to her that its up to her. She needs more meds or something, because she just won't listen to me. I just had a thought, maybe its her son telling what to do, the embarassment I suppose. I told her to do the best she could with the unfair cards she was given.
