[quote=Anonymous]My sister was hospitalized for bipolar at age 16 and took lithium. She was prone to violent rages with me and our grandmother. she managed to keep her cool around our mother so I always figured she was faking her psychotic behavior.  Violent events included smashing my grandmother’s trinkets so the police had to come, banging a field hockey stick on a board game I was doing with my friends (when she was 14), regularly strewing the top of my dresser. And the screaming and the fake scripture quotes…thou shalt not dismay thee child for thou hast sinned…ridiculous. We had gaps in our contact during our adult years. I naively assumed she will grow out of it, why would anyone want to act like that? She didn’t. This past spring we were getting along so well, we even traveled to another country. Well, the ugly side came out and ended with her hurling my suitcase on the floor and screaming for me to leave, so that was that. Very sad she never got any real treatment apparently. She makes a lot of money with her web businesses. I think if she needed private caregivers she would burn them out quickly.[/quote]
