[quote=Anonymous]Mental illness sucks. My sister has bipolar and borderline personality disorders too. I didn't realize what it was until I was in my late 30s, and looking at our childhood through this lens was a huge eye-opening epiphany. Once I reset my expectations, I stopped being disappointed. She goes through periods of black and white thinking where she loves or hates me, and when it's the latter, her twisting, manipulation, and subversion know no limits. I had to cut contact with her for a couple years after our mother passed -- she was simply too toxic. Our relationship now is cordial and loving but I enforce boundaries and sidestep the hoover maneuver dramas. Good luck.[/quote]
