Suggest Ways To Solve Relationship Issues With A Bipolar Parent
I need help with a toxic relationship with my mother. I m 18 and she is treating me horribly. She has for the past ten years. I m trying to leave but honestly it feels like leaving an abusive relationship. I m horrified if I leave she will try to harm me or my family will disown me. She is bipolar and completely dependent on my family and they believe everything she says. She s a compulsive liar and manipulator. I not only need advice I need someone who can just listen to me and help me get through this. Please help!
Was the bipolar disorder diagnosed already, and is she on any treatment? This needs a comprehensive approach. First, we have to confirm diagnosis and treat accordingly. kindly take her to a psychiatrist and psychologist. They will listen you carefully and address all your concerns. She might improve with psychotherapy and some drugs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
