my family tree is full of nuts:)
Way back on my mumās side there was a relative that used to chew on the brass by the fireplace and make threatening gestures with a razor. He eventually committed suicide.
I also have a sister and niece with Bipolar. She has three daughters, and its the second one who has it. My relationship with my sister has improved because we have a lot in common with our mental illnesses. Thereās a lot that Bipolar and sz have in common. And my motherās father was an alcoholic. I donāt know of other family with mental illness.
