[QUOTE="newstart, post: 722783, member: 22416"] Tanya, I get it. Bio son. It is odd how heredity plays such a large part. My daughter has not been around her bipolar grandmother or aunt yet acts so much like them, it is a particular type of bipolar or borderline or whatever but it is the same ugly strain. I hear and see the same mean destructive words and manners and even the way my daughter conducts her life. My mother in law was deeply Catholic, went to Mass everyday quoted the Bible all the time and tried to live by it but her bipolar got the best of her. My bipolar sister in law tries to be nice but it is off and on and not for long. My bipolar brother in law is out of our lives, just could not take him one second longer. A couple of years ago my husband and I were riding our bikes in a park, his brother rode past us and yelled something at us, he did not recognize who we were and I thought, what a jerk and then realized it was him and said a prayer of graditude that he was out of our lives, just the tone of his voice creeped me out. Now here I am stuck with this family curse. Not even sure which side it came from and it does not matter, it is here. I heard my dad's dad was awful, I heard that from many people. My dad tried hard but was an alcoholic after 6 PM, he never drank during the day, he worked hard, he was a functioning alcoholic. My mom was an only child, totally different than her mom, my dear grandmother. When I was little I was always asking my grandmother if mom was really her child. I believed that there had to be a switch at birth since both women were such polar opposites. Grandmother stayed for us kids, would hate to see what my life would have turned out like had she not been there. [/QUOTE]
