BL,

Thank you for your post. I was thinking of you and the help you gave me when my sister's BPD was so bad last year. I knew you'd understand what he was going through. I know my uncle couldn't help it and I know he couldn't tell me. That poor man. I am not angry at him, just at the world. He took lithium for a short time years ago when he was first diagnosed but refused to keep taking it. And he kept it well hidden from us. His partner Ron and one or two friends knew but no one in the family had the slightest clue.

We just always thought he was the successful one, the cool one in our family. To find out the truth and have it be so different from the picture we had and so bad is just a real shock.

To everybody: I won't give up being sensitive and caring. But I do need to give up my illusions. Sometimes family secrets are secret for a reason. I certainly don't want to know anymore of them. I'm in such a bad fibro flare because of this that I can't even get out of bed today.

Thank you BL and everyone for your kind thoughts and support. This is a very special place and you are all very special and wonderful people. I appreciate it.
