Bipolar

I see this word used a lot on this site. I understand that some people on here are dealing with a lot of dramatic, histrionic, and frustrating behavior from various people in their lives.

It's a little difficult for me to find the words to say what I want to say here.

And I'm not trying to put pressure on people to be hyper-aware, or hyper-PC.

But to be honest, I have bipolar disorder. (Maybe this should have gone on the "my truth" thread! LOL) So when I see the word, it catches my attention.

BM Greets Me With a Kiss in the Supermarket

I am still pretty freaked. We live in the same town, and this particular market is right by her apartment. I had to run out during rush hour to get stuff we needed to make dinner, and didn't want to go all the way across town in the traffic. I was there by myself, and she saw me first - I was scanning the signs at the top of the aisles trying to figure out where they keep the QTips (while I was there for the dinner stuff, why not pick up the necessities - y'all know about multitasking being SMoms, I'm sure!).

SS16 stands up SO without calling on Saturday, on Sunday calls asking for money

SS was supposed to call SO on Saturday regarding getting together to watch a sporting event, their main thing to do together for the 5+ past years. SO and SS have not been speaking or seeing each other due to SS's histrionics / drama / delinquent tendencies, so it was a big deal that SO asked SS if he wanted to come over. SS didn't show and didn't call. SO was hurt, and pissed.

But being the kind of guy who keeps to himself, SO didn't even mention how he felt about it to me until after he finally did get a call, on Sunday, asking for money.

United front with BM, leeway for SS16 both history - BM need "her time"

Two weeks ago SS had an incident with BM, and BM, SO, and I all went to the police station together. SO had not been speaking to BM or SS at all, but he backed BM up on this issue with SS, and so did I.

A couple nights later - the day BM got summoned to juvenile court with SS - SS actually came over here, and he and SO have been speaking on the phone since then a few minutes almost daily. SO has also been speaking with BM trying to support her with SS and figure out how to handle the hearing.

Update to went to police with SO & BM, SS summoned to court

So we had a big drama on Friday which ended up with BM, SO, and me going to the police station together about SS. Then Sunday BM got a summons to a hearing due to SS getting picked up on Labor Day.

Well last night SO went out to drop off the summons paperwork back to BM (she loaned it to him so we could scan it into the computer and make a copy), and to have a talk with SS.

It was around 8:00 Sunday night, I was chilling in my pajamas watching TV and surfing the net, waiting for SO to get back.

Around 9:15, he pulls up - with SS in the car. :jawdrop:

No college worries here - SS16 summoned to court

Just heard from SO that BM got some kind of a summons for SS16 and her to appear in court in the next town over - apparently stemming from the incident where SS16 was out on the street over there during Labor Day weekend (I thought that happened here in our town, but I was wrong).

BM doesn't speak English and has no knowledge of the courts - she just told SO that she got something and she's very upset. SO is going to go see what it is and to talk to SS.

SO: "BM looks like crap - that kid is killing her!"

That's what SO said to me after the three of us were down at the police station the other night regarding SS16. I said two things in response - first, I just saw she was upset, I didn't really notice anything else, and second, I never really thought she looked that good anyway. LOL

She does look pretty desperate, but I saw more emotional and mental strain that physical effects. Physically she looks the same as ever - pretty average. But she looks like she's losing her mind. I actually felt bad for her.

If I need new sneakers I'll just sell pot

SS16 went home to BM's house at 5:30 (late from school), went in, picked up some clothes, and started to go back out again. She asked him where he was going and he wouldn't say more than "out". There were some bags of things from the store in their place, purchased by her BF for his kids - BM thought they looked like somebody had gone through them, so she asked SS if he had done that. SS's reply: "I know there are sneakers in there and I don't need them - if I need sneakers I don't need your money I'll just go sell pot." At that point he walked out despite BM telling him he couldn't go.

BM and SO both out of work

Just an update. I think I posted that SO lost his job about a month ago. SS16 has been with BM. SO still has full physical custody and BM will never get that because she can't provide for SS adequately - she's not even allowed overnights per the custody agreement due to her living circumstances. But BM and SS insisted repeatedly this is what they want, so SO allowed SS to go with BM (and in fact does not want SS back due to SS's current delinquent attitude).

Wow did I start off this day on the wrong foot! First I overslept by an hour and a half. Then I left my lunch on the counter. I've been so good with what I'm eating - my lunch had three tiny meals, each one consisting of a good source of protein and a serving of fruit. I was so pissed when I realized I left it home that I yelled F!?K out loud while merging onto the freeway. LOL
