[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 159074, member: 1233"] The daughter and son of a family friend both have bipolar. The son went through a really bad patch about 5 years ago, stopped his medications, was arrested and taken to a psychiatric hospital. He got back on medications, cleaned up his act, and acknowledges both his bipolar disorder AND his need for medications. He set things up so that if he goes off his medications then his mom has the legal right to make decisions (including hospitalizing him) for him. The daughter is my age, has a son about 9 or 10, and while she says she knows she has BiPolar (BP), is totally noncompliant, they do have a tough time finding the right medications, but she has torn her mother's heart to bits, is a horrible mom (was out of her head one night and took a knife into his room type horrible). She won't give up custody, and won't take care of her child properly. The Gma does most of the child care, and lives in fear of what the daughter will do to the grandson and herself. Gma and Gpa provided a house, daughter has trashed it over the years, and is a really scary person. I think it really depends on the person and if other things are going on. Susie [/QUOTE]
