Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | When the author's mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the response was shock and confusion. What did it mean to be bipolar? How would it affect her mother and the members of her family? Grett became frustrated with her mother because she didn't understand the disease or her mother's behavior and believed that she could be normal if she just tried harder. The diagnosis of bipolar disorder weighs heavily on those millions of Americans who suffer the illness. But what about their families? More specifically, what about the children whose parents are diagnosed. My Mother's Bipolar, So What Am I? reveals the emotional, physical and mental toll this complicated disease takes on the children. Author Angela Grett sheds light on their common experiences, as well as coping mechanisms, to help adult children begin to heal through understanding and perhaps find a reason to be hopeful. | | | |

 where's the beef? May 23, 2009
By cherubia14
i thought this book was an ok start for someone who has not had the opportunity to reflect on how their feelings are a direct result of dealing with a parent of manic depression. however, i was dissappointed that the author did not get into more depth about how she specifically achieved her newfound ability to cope with her mother's illness, especially since she endured abuse. she goes from one extreme to the other-from abuse to a great understanding and acceptance of her mother. this does not seem very realistic to me. what happened in between? how did she get there? that's the meat that could be very helpful. i think that for most people, the illness gets worse with time and it becomes increasingly challenging to deal with the family member. it takes great inner stength and endurance to deal with it especially if you are the only person around to help out.

 Outstanding! Mar 31, 2006
By Happy Girl
This is a wonderful book! Having grown up with a bi-polar mother and not knowing much about this disease, i found the book to be such a relief. Knowing that others have grown up with the same, and sometimes worse, circumstances through no fault of their own comforts me. The stories are as interesting as they are well-written. I will surely recommend this book to everyone i know!!

Losing the Stigma Mar 31, 2006
By Yvonne Perry
TV and movie media has misrepresented what a bipolar person is really like. This "monster" they have created is not the typical behavior of a person with bipolar-especially if the person is taking their medication. After reading Grett's book, you will feel much better about admitting that you are bipolar or have a bipolar family member. You will also have up-to-date information about bipolar research and practical help for family members who deal with a bipolar loved one. Angela's book shows understanding and compassion as she reveals her own story about her mother. Be sure to visit Angela's website at [...]

 Interesting Feb 18, 2008
By Mickey107
This is probably the 1st book I have read hoping to find something I could relate to. I have to admit, it seems as though every case is drastically different--someone might consider my life to be horrific--yet it comes no where close to some of the examples provided within this book--it seems their cases might be excessive or extreme compared to mine so I found it harder to relate to. There are some similarities but not too many--a few line items here and there where I was like 'yup--that's me' but not too many of those. It would have been nice to see a broader range of real-life interviews/examples then the few used. Overall this book left me desiring more. Not the worse book by any means but worth a read through.
A wonderful book Mar 28, 2009

The author of this book has done a wonderful job. Thank you so much for all your time that you put into this project. Growing up in the 60's and 70's with a mother that was bipolar was very difficult for me. It is so nice to know that there really are others out there that have experienced some of the same problems as I did. Thank you to all who shared their stories. May God Bless you all.
