My name is Jane F, and I am a newbie here. I would like to talk to someone who has bipolar children. I am 46 years old, and have 3 adult bipolar kids. I was just informed that one of my grandchildren might be early onset childhood bipolar as well. Very upset, feel overwhelmed. I am exhauted all the time because I feel I have to take care of so many people all the time, and I do still work full time as well. How do I get my children to be less dependent on me, or is that even possible? I would like my life to be less chaotic now, but they call me with every little issue, and cannot seem to resolve things on their own. They sometimes still make bad choices, which I need to know if that is part of the bipolar or what> Does it get better with age? My e-mail is dfcatfish@yahoo.com. HELP PLEASE!
