Thank you for the thread, it is really interesting to read.

My husbands sister has just been diagnosed as Bipolar. She was just an average person with a long term boyfriend and a couple of kids until she hit 30 and then since then her life (and the whole families) has been completely insane. The stuff she's done and the way the different members of the family tried to deal with it has pretty much destroyed my husbands relationship with most of them and now she's been diagnosed I don't think he feels like he can forget all the stuff she's put them all through. We've called social work a few times to try and protect the children from her and the various abusive drug dealing boyfriends she's had in the last few years and hopefully now there's a diagnosis they can at least work on getting her into a position where she can provide more stability for them.

It worries me a bit though, all the women on his side of the family have some kind of mental illness or another (with a lot of them having been commited at various points) and we've just had a daughter.
