Furthermore, I'd wager an extremely educated guess that if you did know me, even when I was at my sickest, you would have never known my diagnosis if you hadn't read this blog. Is a person with bipolar disorder who is not receiving treatment perhaps not safe to care for children? Maybe, but it depends on the person. As for me, at the time I wrote this post, I was doing extremely well on the medications and with the therapy I was receiving and under the recommendation of all of my health professionals was just fine doing what I did for a living. If/when you become a parent, you retain the right to make whatever decisions you want about who can care for your children. At no time, not now and certainly not then, does that extend to give you the right to make assertions about what all "responsible" parents would or should do. So no, actually, it's not pretty simple, it's apparently far more complex and nuanced than you seem to comprehend.Caithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957920877842979647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559753239246026395.post-3822907881841964102013-02-15T21:43:02.492-05:002013-02-15T21:43:02.492-05:00no responsible parent would hire a bipolar nanny. ...no responsible parent would hire a bipolar nanny. it's pretty simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559753239246026395.post-50109472749676686082011-12-13T09:25:24.910-05:002011-12-13T09:25:24.910-05:00Amazing.
