I am bipolar and all of us can be hard to live with if we are not receiving proper treatment. It is not our intent to be difficult. A chemical imbalance in our brains causes us to react differently to situations than a normally functioning person does. We have sudden and unexpected mood changes. Anger out bursts are common. But still it is no excuse, we are still responsible for our behavior.
Help your father by giving him as much love and support as possible. Try letting him know that he is in a manic episode, when he is and does not know it. Most of all help keep him safe. The manic phase of this can be very dangerous. Encourage him to see his doctor and get treatment. If he is currently in treatment and the medications are not working, ask him to go back to the doctor. His doctor may change the dose or change medications. Life can be very near normal for him when he is treated with the proper medications and the correct dosage. You will be surprised at the difference it will make for him and for you.
The web site links I am providing below are very good. Please check them out. They can provide you with skills on coping with a loved one or helping them to cope and seek treatment.
I hope I have helped. I wish you both good luck.

karma
As I go through life, fixing my mistakes one at a time, I’ve learned a thing or two about Karma, and part of keeping good Karma is sharing it with others. I hope these notions help you as much as they’ve helped me.
Do good things and good things will happen to you. Do bad things and it will come back and bite you in the ***.
If you want a better life, you need to be a better person.
Bad luck might be contagious. It wouldn’t be fair to bring someone into your life until you clean yours up.
Never underestimate the power of confidence. And never underestimate fifteen beers, a little enlightenment, and the power of Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock.
A person needs a little rest after having his moustache tickled at a gay bar.
You have to do the hard things in life sooner or later.
If you want the reward, you have to do the work.
The secret to life is fixing all the bad things that you’ve done.
Whether picking up trash, returning stolen merchandise, or helping a homosexual find love, it always has the same reward… feeling good about yourself.
Karma. You got to love it.

It all depends. You might want to politely tell him he might be manic. You need to love an respect him. It is all so complicated with just a simple question. Give him space and respect. Treat him as you would always. Be kind. Be calm.

Just love your father. One way to better understand your father is to do as much research on bipolar as you can..........the internet is really good for researching this. Bipolar doesn't just effect the person who has it, but it effects everyone in that person's life .

Accept him the way his is at all times. That's what my kids do...... lol and husband and family and in-laws.... LOL
Does he take his MEDS regularly???? That is the KEY to keeping Bi-Polar under control.
