How old was your son when he was diagnosed? if you don't mind sharing.
The next few years are my biggest worry, I keep wondering- will it get worse? how do I pull apart what is BP, what are teenage issues, and what is just her actual personality- and it makes sense to me that her personality is shaped by the BP anyway.
How do you manage independance vs keeping them safe- like now when meds are seemingly not working very well.
How will she ever meet a guy who loves her enough to ride these rough seas? Seas so rough that even a mother feels like she could drown?
All of those unknown future things that go hand in hand with BP.
My heart breaks with her.
Luckily, my parents are close by and willing to take on a supportive role. Infact they have put aside their dream to be 'grey nomads' to stay close by for us. I am blessed that way.
