When I went to counseling I guess I talked about mom a lot. The woman said my mom had a personality disorder. There was no meds for it and IF one was willing it took years to correct. I finally got to the point where I was done talking about her. I told her my mom isnt going to live forever and I dont want to talk bad about her any more. She couldnt help what she had. Made every thing right again. She became my friend.

Sounds like bipolar, just from the little bit you've said here. I'm medicated and thank God for it. It's horrible without.

Is that considered a personality disorder ?

My mom was a mess, too. I hated her for years until I finally realized she was probably sick too, and no doubt doing the best she could with what she had. Compassion leads to forgiveness, and that leads to healing and peace.

Bipolar? Yeah I guess. It might be classified a mental illness too, I don't know. Lines are blurry in these days of trying not to offend anyone. I don't care what they call it just so I get my meds and can live a normal life.
