[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This describes my older brother. Sister suspects he may be bipolar - I suspect some level of functioning borderline personality. Regardless, one word: boundaries. Do not respond when they have an episode. Grey rock. Ignore. Do not feed their hyper emotions. And you have to do the same during the "nice" phases as well. Do not respond. Ignore. Do not feed their need. You keep your relationship like business. Factual, not personal. It's sad and you might have to mourn the person they were or the "good" days that person has, but it's the best way to take care of yourself. You can't take the good without taking in the bad - so you have to ignore both. [/quote] This. Dispassionate interest. No money. No help. No excitement. Boundaries. [/quote]
