My mother has bipolar disorder too. She lost her job, she's put us in the poorhouse more than once and she goes on these violent rages that just destroy all those around her.
It's really hard. Really really hard.
When she is bad, I don't (and never did) have a mom. Sometimes though she is good (especially with lamictal), which just make the bad times worse.
It's frustrating, and while everyone's experience is different, i do have an inkling of understanding of how you feel.
We are supposed to understand it's an illness. If only it were that easy.
