As it's been almost a year now since My Lizzy passed and as some know I have someone new in my life whom I think the world of. My G/F was very upfront about her Bipolar M/D condition right from when we started just chatting as old friends about How I was doing and if the kids needed anything ( She happens to be my Daughters God Mother ) after Lizzy had passed. Much like I researched the heck out of ALS after our diagnosis- I did the same about Bipolar M/D. At times when she needs to just decompress and relax on the sofa and not say much I just can't help but Flashback to some horrible memory's of My time caregiving for Liz. She really doesn't need a caregiver as She holds a Full time job in finance and owns her own home and is raising her 2 great kids and was doing all that before we started dating.. I just at times can't fight off the horrible feeling of frustration over seeing another person I care about suffer and struggle and there isn't anything I can do to " Fix" it all and make everything "Normal" and happy all the Time.. old habits die hard I suppose.. Hope everyone has a nice Weekend.
