recently i went on a huge camping trip with families from school that i am rele close with. it was a blast until the second night. my mom is bipolar and she had a fit and threw over one of the food tables. she was cursing at 2 of my friends moms and packed up our stuff. we left early, but on the car ride home she calmed down so we went back. the rest of the trip she stayed inside the tent and i had to bring her food. she hasnt talked to either of my friends moms yet. this rele sucks bc out of my friends, i am the closest with the two of these families. we always do outside of school things together and they all have to do with our moms talking. in school they were talking about the the things they do on saturdays together. i wasnt invited. it rele hurts my feelings that i wasnt invited. its not fair to me bc my mom is beign so childish she wont even say sorry to them. i have talked to my mom, but she says im being selfish and i cant be included in everything. but im invited to nothing!

also, its not that i cant do things with her there. i cant do them without her there. bc she doesnt want me to be with those two friends. and my friends parents cant even call to invite me to a club. like, now my best friends do a softball clinic on saturdays and an acting program too. they know i luv to act and play softball but i probably wasnt invited to join bc the moms didnt want to call to my mom and ask.

i would speak to the 2 moms. You shouldn't have to apologize for your mother but speak with the other moms let them know what you are up against everyday. I'm guessing that they will continue to include you and maybe include your mom when something is low key. If they know more of the situation they will just roll with no apology and reach out a comforting had for you.
Honey, my mother was the same way and I really needed the support of my friends and their moms. I had one very close friend that I was just as close to her mom. Her mom was there for me when I need a mom to talk to.

That is sad as your mom really is sick and can't help herself at times.
Maybe you should just go to your friends moms and explain how things are. Apolize for her.
I would avoid going places like that with your mom until you are older, old enough to control her.
You have a rough life ahead o fyou unless you learn to be independent of yuor mom.
We know she is sick but you can only bend so far, and must handle your own life.\
Try to avoid things that will include her unless she promises tomake an effort to beheave and does so. I would tell her this .
Sick or not she knows better, than to embrass you.
Look for things to do that you can handle even i fyou have ot make new friends. Your friends should stand behind you if they are friends.

tell them that you are really sorry about your mom's behavior, and tell their parents too. You may also want to pitch in that she is mentally ill. (she may find out so make sure you say it's a secret). You may want to find another adult like an aunt or uncle you can talk to about her behavior, someone who can intervene. but be careful who you tell because they will most likely tell her what you said because adults are idiots, and don't ever trust children. My dad was the same way. Tell them that you are afraid for your safety and cry if at all possible.

Is your mom taking medication? Your friends mothers should understand what is going on. There isn't anyway that you could go out with your friends and your mom stay at home?
Your mom is sick, not you. Try writing the moms letters explaining the situation. Good luck to you.

That is a tough one...I knew an aquaintence that was bi-polar...she was something else..Your mom should apologize...But MAYBE SHE FEELS SHE WAS IN THE RIGHT....I DO NOT KNOW...ALSO MAYBE, SHE DOES NOT WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW SHE IS BIPOLAR...SO I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL TELLING PEOPLE... cuz it could blow up in your face...so to speak!!! Geez, she was cursing!!! talk to your dad about it...i do not know if you can be friends without her apologizing!!!???
