Children of very incompetent, irrational, and/or irresponsible parents - what did/didn't they do and how are you doing now?

Ok, I'll field this one.

Ma has bipolar disorder (manic depression)

We had good days and very, very bad days.

The good days I went to school dressed and with a full lunch box and came home to Ma cooking or sewing.

The bad days I woke up at 4 a.m to Ma blasting Eyna while she re-painted the walls or tearing up the carpets in the house...again. (random and repetitive manic behaviour)

I'd get my little sister up, make breakfast, pack the lunch boxes.

Ma would come into he kitchen and ask what I was doing.

I'd say 'getting ready for school ma'

Here it comes...

'YOUR GOING TO LEAVE ME.?..HOW CAN YOU LEAVE ME?...I NEED YOU...YOU HAVE TO STAY...if you walk out the door I'll kill myself"

That was the scariest thing, she would scream and rant and wave, but she would go so quiet with her suicide threats...she almost whispered them.

Every single day I came home from school I made sure my little sister was behind me incase I had to get her out of the house quickly. I didn't want her to see Ma hanging from the rafters or inside the over.

This started when I was 8 and finally ended when I was 16 (finally had enough and moved into a shitty bedsit)

I think I'm pretty well rounded, I have a lot of anger issues and I really like a drink but...considering what could have been...I'm doing good.
