He gets very upset and gets depressed. I've lived my entire life with people like him. My mom, grandma and brother are too. Sometimes he makes me feel left out or has a hard time doing things for me. How should I tell him?

My husband is Bi polar and he has learned how to control it on his own. You have to be supportive and maybe try to get him to go for help. Sometimes they go in thier own little world. Just be there for him and things may improve

Treading lightly around depressed individuals is exhausting.
If he isn't on medication, or receiving counselling, maybe it's something the both of you should look into. Mental illnesses are hard to deal with without the appropriate care.
I think that telling him, while he is unstable, is dangerous. Not necessarily physically, but to his and your health.
Maybe you could consider approaching him about certain issues, only when he is on a level mood. Calmly tell him how you feel, and what makes you feel that way. Avoid saying "I hate it when you...." - it'll only make him feel boxed in, and possibly attacked. Instead, try voicing yourself in an understanding way, while reassuring him how you feel for him, and that despite how things have been, that you love him unconditionally.
I'm sure that I could convince a Jew that Hitler was only an inner damaged child, and not a satanic, psychopathic jackhole. But. I wouldn't want to do that. The point is, that when worded correctly, we are able to say absolutely anything, to anyone, without them getting angry.
Good luck.

If your mom and brother are bipolar you probably already know that one of the symptoms is placing blame on others. Most bipolars won't take responsibility for anything. Everything is someone else's fault. Not really but that is how they feel.

Do not under any circumstances marry him or has a baby with him unless things get hugely better.
Also, if you've always lived with people like him, you might need some help yourself. Have you thought of talking to someone about you?

Make sure he sees a doctor and gets on the right medication. That should take care of his mood swings.
