I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a new group that we can take advantage of to support eachother and get support from other members, you can never have too much support! The new group is for parents who have Bipolar and are going through the strains and battles of parenting with this illness. I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by posting this here, I just wanted to share this exciting news with others since I know that this group could be helpful for many here.Unsure

This is fantastic news. I could really use a group like that for support, a lot of my stress and triggers are from my children, what i should say "i react to" its not my children's faults.

Thanks so much for posting this info, i hope you post over at the Bipolar Support Group, thanks.Smile
