A friend said maybe my mom is bipolar. This is not the first time I heard that. This time it hit differently.
If she truly is that, then nothing she said or did was personal or on purpose.
I'll have to look into it.
Does anyone have experiences dealing with family like that?

That's a nice way of looking at it. I'll have to consider that myself.
My mum is diagnosed with bi-polar and schizo-affective personality disorder. When she's not well she's like an adult sized phychotic baby. Can't understand or relate to other people's needs, desires or emotions at the good end and hyperactive, conspiracy theorist and super into religious symbols with a side of mystic talk and physically dangerous at the bad end.
Make of that what you will.
I've thought about it... My mum's condition still left her good times and even in the good times she said spiteful and hateful stuff about me... I guess I'm not going to change my mind about having nothing to do with her after all. I've always believed she did her best with the hand that was dealt her but that was not enough.
