Thanks Tom! Checked out the links, and found it helpful, though I really haven't tun into anyone who is in my sitch-WAW during bipolar mania combined with recovery from epileptic seizures. I am convinced that much of the denial, alcohol, and abandonment are due to whet she is going through. Unfortunately, I didn't have anyone to help me understand how to care for her until I started to seek out boards such as this one and began to accept that this is a very real condition that she, myself and most of her family has been in denial of for too long. Don't get me wrong, I have bore the wight of my own poor decisions in our R/M, but knowing she is going through this on her own, with a poor support system, is very frightening to me, for her, and also what it is doing to our M. All input from folks with similar experiences with BPD or bipolar are welcomed! Thanks!
