Heather,
I know what you're going through. I feel your pain, sadness and joy. My stepdaughter has bipolar disorder. Anytime you'd like to talk, just email me.

Thank you. I did.
While I would never pretend to "get it", I learned more from this post than anything I've read in quite some time. Thank you for the peek into your soul....
