Make2short,
Acceptance has always been easier in theory than practice for me, but I'm getting there. It's a big part of dealing with my own bipolar to accept my family and others as they are. I had to get a distance from my family, too. Now, with God's help, I've moved on from the anger and bitterness.
I've read a lot of your blogs over time, and I feel for you and Kelly and your whole family, because I've been in the places you describe, sometimes literally. Fortunately, I have the option of living independently. I know that there is no way that I could live with my own family, as much as I love them and accept them. I hope and pray that all of you find peace by whatever means.

It is good to see you back again and to read the things that you have to say. I have always been amazed at how well you have seemed to handle your disappointments and how hard you have worked for your family. Acceptance is probably the hardest step of all but sometime we finally come to that point where it is what we have left other than hope. God bless you and your daughter and continue to give you strength.
