Why are you letting the government take care of your family instead of doing it yourself?
Hazcat, you've never been around a truly bi-polar person, or you wouldn't ask that question. Your environment turns to utter chaos, for one thing. My bf's oldest daughter is bi-polar. Until she lived with us, he thought it was a SSDI scam so mommy could squeeze more money out of the system.
Freakin' rollercoaster ride, and unfortunately I'm tuned to gauge people's moods for protecting myself. One minute she's laughing and everything is cool, next minute she's crying her eyes out. My son is a year older than her, and unfortunately became romantically involved with her(she's 18, he's 19). She is so beautiful looking, she could knock a lot of models off the front page, but she's a mess.
If you have kids at home, you really don't want them around a bi-polar who is self destructive. That's all I'm going to say about that. Better headstamp's sis be in her own space.
If it wasn't for all the scammers, druggies, and illegals, people who need help could get it a lot quicker.
Spotted Owl,
Thanks for the cogent answer.
I was not trying to bait anyone. I have been through some trying situations myself.
My parents (now just my father) live with my son (13) and I.
My Mother went through two years of Alzheimer’s and broken hips etc until she passed last year.
For the last 6-8 months she was basically ‘gone’ and immobile. We had to carry her to the bathroom etc.
Just laying this out so y’all Will know I do have some idea of how hard it is to care for someone.
