My Mom Has Manic Depression

An Open Letter to You, From My Daughter Aubrey...

(first, a note from mom)

This is all very weird, but, I ask for honesty in the forum and out... I really should expect it, right?  I asked my daughter Aubrey, (Brey), to write about how she feels to have a mother who has manic depression,  bipolar disorder...  and, she wrote the following... I have learned w/the forum's guests over the past few years that others have similar households which helps some. But, as the insecurity of this disorder creeps on me from time to time and the need for approval from everyone in the world feels so very vital, this does tend to sting a bit. I love my daughter w/all my heart...

       My mom has manic depression, it is very hard at times but also can be fun. You must understand her mood changes quite rapidly and unexpectedly.  Well on the negative side (when my mom is down) she is really actually not a pleasure to be around. She is always in her room and she never wants to talk. When I try to talk to her it seems like she doesn’t care, and like everything else is more important to her than I am. Then sometimes she yells a lot and makes me cry. I know (well I hope) that its nothing personal but it sure is hard to believe its not. It’s really hard to be around her when she is like this and I am sensitive so it hurts a lot.

      Well when she is manic (on the happy side) I enjoy her, and enjoy spending time with her. She is very hyper, crazy, and a blast to be with. She usually doesn’t yell at me when she is like this. She is not lazy and willing to do things with me. When she is like this it seems like she is "normal" and doesn’t have a disease. She is willing to do things and like go out to shop, pretty much she knows to have fun. I think as hard as it is to change her attitude, I would like her to enjoy me and have fun with me as a teenager because its not going to last for ever.

       Since my mom has this disease my life-style is different. It makes me kind of mad how my mom always wants me to clean when actually she doesn’t clean. I feel like I’m missing a part of my mom’s life. She only practically spends time with Petey.

       Well I guess that is all for now. There is good and bad things as a mom having manic depression.
