Personally no but I did have a friend who is bi polar. Her highs were tolerable when we were at each others house, but in public they were over the top. Sadly after about 10 years of friendship, we have drifted oceans apart and haven't spoke in almost a year. It wasn't necessarily her mania that did it, but yet it was. She made some choices that I no longer felt it was safe for my kids to be at her house, yet I welcomed her kids at my house. She was offended.Jeffkoa says,
It is very tough. I work hard at recovery. Sadly, she may have had difficulty coping.Wench says,
Not directly. I dated a guy for three years in high school whose mom was bi-polar. I was very close with his family and even lived with them for a short time while he was in college. After we broke up, we remained close, so it hit me pretty hard when he called to tell me his mom had stopped taking her medication and was having an affair with a man with AIDS. She wanted her husband to let him move in and accept him as an additional partner. I had always looked up to her and admired her and it was hard to see things fall apart like that, but most upsetting was that their eight year old son with autism no longer had the attention he needed and was put in a home.MO_Thoughts2 says,
I hope your journey is a good one. Perhaps -- she left a 25 year marriage after she "met" someone on the internet and within a couple months he moved in with her -- moving from his home 2000 miles away in with her and her two teenage girls. Lots of red flags in my mind. Then she didn't want to introduce him to me even when we ran across each other in town. My kids don't visit homes where I don't meet the adults and they definitely do not have sleepovers.
