I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder and she's always trigger happy and thinking I might be manic when I am not. Perhaps I've been forwarding her too many emails. Or maybe she thinks I'm manic because I asked my dad to borrow money too many times lately. Or maybe it's because when her sister came to town to visit I took it as an opportunity to get a dig in and told her to be sure and purchase nursing home insurance because she's not living with me when she gets really old...lol! Or maybe it's because I told on my dad to his mom that he's being rediculous over a family issue and it got back to him.
I can't figure out why she described me as dangerous when everybody else described me as funny, smart, etc.
I am not sure how to react? Should I tell her to hide the knives when I come over? Should I ask her if her comment was meant to make me feel good? Should I ignore the reply and pretend I didn't see it? Should I email her and ask her why she thinks I'm dangerous?

I would just ask her for an explanation. Why in her eye's does she see you as dangerous.

I would ignore her. I know it hurts deep down. But my family is totally dysfunctional and we always have something like this going on. My mom likes to say things like this because she is only happy when she is "stirring the pot." She likes to keep things going. I don't know your mom, but maybe she was just trying to get a rise out of you. Just ignore it, and don't make anymore digs about her. Sarcasm is a form of masked (subconscious) anger. She probably picked up on that and was using this to get back at you. Good luck.

Moms joke around a lot about this kind of stuff. I wouldn't take it too seriously. My best friend has bipolar, and her moods go up and down. I tease her about it but tell her I'm kidding, of course. Your mom is probably kidding. Just ask her about it; that's what she's there for!

Dangerous, huh?
I like that.
At least she didn't describe you as dull, boring, average, plain, or "nice".
I say, take it as a compliment.
On the other hand, sounds like some of your actions are hurtful to those close to you.
Be careful, we only have one family.
Ancient chinese proverb goes like this,"Don't sh*t where you eat"
Good luck sister.

Maybe she just meant you were a loose cannon and that means dangerous??
Who knows.

maybe you should stop worrying so much about how your mom sees you or what she thinks. It's not about her, it's about you. it's your life, and you're allowed to be there and take up space, so don't fret. Don't take her personally. Sometimes mom's are weird and don't know they can hurt you with their thoughtless remarks. ;o)
