Wow, Fiona,
Your mom should get the "Kick in the Ass" award. It's pretty obvious you and your sister are not going to get any support from her. You don't say how your dad reacts to this. Do you have any close friends that you are willing to share with that are willing to bear the burden? I looked up the description of your affliction on the internet. It describes it as moods swings and violent outbursts lasting from two to nine weeks. I'm sure your mom has had her share of it from you and has grown immune. You don't say if you are getting treatment for it. Are you? What are you taking for it? How long before it takes effect? If anything, you have the people on this board for support. I've found them to be very helpful. Best of Luck. -- Dee
