Yes. They often do.
I'm not sure why I did. Maybe it's because I felt secure enough in knowing they wouldn't leave or that I could get away with it? Or in my case, I often felt like I had to put on a front for others so I'd control myself around them but if I was having an episode I would fly off the handle at my mom or my dad without a second thought. Not sure why it is for other bipolars, but yes, that does happen.

Jimbo, bipolar people aren't happy anywhere when they're unhappy. Ok, that made no sense, did it? What I mean to say is that she could be back in the US and not be any happier. The grass always seems greener on the other side. I don't mean to sound like I know all about her or anything like that; I'm just speaking from the point of a bipolar person. I could be exactly where I wanted to be right now and if I was having a phase, it still wouldn't make me happy. .

Another thing that's really important- when we act poorly towards people we love it doesn't mean we don't love them. We do love them. We're just unhappy with ourselves and we lash out sometimes. When we hurt you we are always sorry and it often makes us even unhappier with ourselves because we know we hurt you and we don't really know why we did it.
I know it's hard to do but when she lashes out at you, you have to remember that it is NOT that she doesn't love you.
