Bipolar Parenting & Postpartum

I feel I have been a victim of stolen identity. Watching a show on motherhood brought up a lot of feelings considering I parent as a single mom with bipolar. I ask myself, why the self hatred when I have bipolar and children with special needs and do my best.

You are a great mother.

Thank you so very much. My children tell me the same thing. I am learning to stop being so hard on myself.

Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your opinion.

I viewed your video. I am not a mother so I can't really comment. but I found your view very interesting though.

I feel your pain. Its very hard to be a parent and have bipolar!

Don't be hard on yourself. You did the best you could. I'm sorry you didn't have someone around to help you when you needed it. Being tired is a big part of depression. You are a great person.

I love your saying and I must remind myself of it everyday.

I found being very honest and open helped my children greatly. I let them know I had a disease other people had and that they were not the cause and as a parent I was never going to be perfect.

My little family is very close from all that we have gone through. Thanks for pointing out the most important fact I have to remember which is I am very involved with my children's' feelings and lives. I am lucky I made that a priority. Like you said, I am always here for them.
