Bipolar disorder is a real mental illness. With all of the stress you are probably dealing with, I know that you are going through a lot, but just try to remain calm and know that your mother does not wish to be this way. She really can't help it. Since she is ill, you are being put in a position to act as an adult. You need to just stay strong for the both of you and talk to someone that you trust. It always helps to have someone that you can talk to when you are upset or feeling anger towards her. We don't get to choose our situations in life, they kind of just are so you have to face it and maybe you can find out why she doesn't like to take her pills. I can only imagine how difficult it has to be for you, but you have to hang in there and hopefully things will get better.

Well, you have to understand the fact that she's bipolar.
Just be there for her, to comfort her and love her.
I know you feel alot of hate towards her and everything but afterall she is your mom.
She probably has done alot for you.
So even though you dont feel love for her, atleast act like you do.
Because i expect it's not easy for her to be bipolar.
And i also understand your side because it's not easy for you to put up with it, and its probably aggravating and whannot.
When times get frustrating, just go up to your room and do your own thing.
or talk to your best friend or a close friend or a relative or whoever you can pour your feelings out to!
