Thanks again for all the comments and hugs, ladies.

SBFF is bipolar. 

Reading about it now, it ALL clicks.  Explains her to a T.  Her sister just confided in me that her mother is - “not officially diagnosed” - but has been for years.  Her sister is an RN and has been wanting their mother to get help - but she no longer has contact with the family.  Actually, nost of her 4 sisters don’t have regular contact with their parents, I knew there was some bad situations growing up but I never realized how bad.  Anyway, SBFF is the “baby” of the family and has a better relationship with her parents than all her sisters. 

They have started her on Lithium, no word on how long she will be there exactly just yet.  The average is 5 days but now that she is diagnosed and on the meds, I don’t know if that will change things.  She sounds surprisingly good.  I don’t think she is shocked, her therapist threw this around a bit in the past but then said she wasn’t.  Anyway, she is up doing activities - morning yoga, arts and crafts, group therapy, etc.  I feel so much better, although I am still a little heart broken for her.  This means worrying about children she may have in the future, staying on her meds, etc.  I just found a book online I am going to order so I can understand more about it.

Slumber party was fun, but I am glad it is over, lol.  I am going to go on that date tonight.  And right now, I am going to check the temperature outside and see if the kids want to go for a walk.

Hugs, love you all!
