[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mother who is bipolar and can (barely) hold a job but can't keep up with household tasks. There has been improvement in my temperament since starting medication a year ago but I just can't keep up with cleaning, laundry, cooking, kids, and work (housekeeper, etc. does not fit my budget). I see a psychiatrist and therapist and take medication, but I know I'm not doing well and have lost hope in medication alone solving my problems. Many people here comment that their mothers were mentally ill and the harm this caused them. How can I help my kid's story be different? [/quote]
