My wife’s group of close female friends had one of these jerks in her group.
Finally, one of the outspoken ladies in the group of 8 told the bi-polar that she was a jerk, a B$tch and a loser who turned off her family and now her friends.
Now instead of the crazy 8 eight group, the group is now the Magnificient Seven.

Speaking as the son of a bipolar woman (in the hospital now for said disorder), what your wife’s outspoken friend said is quite true.
A person in the midst of a manic episode is all that and more. Oh, and not in control of it, either.
The stories I could tell would curl your hair.
I have seen this same thing up close and personal. Since my dad passed last year, and with my mom having alienated just about everyone she was ever close to with her extremely erratic behavior (while off her meds), my sister and I are about the only people she has left, other than the complete strangers in the bars, restaurants and churches that she wanders into.
All it takes is a couple of days off the meds, and the damage is done.
