I Have a Parent That Is Bipolar

I am lucky. I had a father who is normal. And what I mean by normal is that although he's a heart patient, his mind functions within the realm of logic and reason. My mother, however, is mentally ill.

I think it's undiagnosed. =P
She's CRAZY one day, crying the next, and then she's back to screaming.
