I think that you are doing a great thing by being so honest. You are such a lovely person and I adore you. I believe that all your good that is within your own daughter will shine through once her icky teenager-ness rubs away. <br />Keep your head up!Christie@MommyDrinksBecauseYouCryhttp://www.mommydrinksbecauseyoucry.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351547043378511433.post-80710834766758500162010-04-25T10:24:05.614+10:002010-04-25T10:24:05.614+10:00My best friend's teenage son was just diagnose...My best friend's teenage son was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

From what I've learned about you through your blog, you're a good mom! <br />Haven't stopped by in a while. Sorry! Come on over when you get a chance. I'm starting my very first blog carnival next week and it's called "OH NO HE DIDN'T!" TUESDAY. You're going to love it!

She wasn't perfect, but she was MY Mum, and I loved her regardless.<br /><br />I just hope I can do her justice by being the kinda Mum Tomika would want if she had a choice.<br /><br />Lourie - I remember, and I understand. I don't envy those who have to deal with me when I'm at my worst, but the least I can do is be honest with them. Lying only made me more miserable. I do my best to let them know that they are not at fault.<br /><br />Greg - Nice to hear from you xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479789171913848342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351547043378511433.post-10722707345482161552010-04-24T12:12:24.346+10:002010-04-24T12:12:24.346+10:00I know I have told you my sister is bi-polar.
