My mother has the same disorder as I do, Bi-Polar. My mother has a degree in nursing, near Masters. My mother has P.O.A. & Governs my money when it comes to SSDI. My mother would like to give the power to her husband, who is my Ex-Fiancee. My mothers Dr.s & care providers don't think that I am a good support system for her. They would like for me to go to G.A. groups alone in order to help her with her problem Her Psychiatrist also thinks that I should pay my mother back for blowing the money my mother gave me, which was hers. If I won any money, I ALWAYS give it to my mother, it was hers to begin with. Am I missing something here? What would you do if you were in my shoes? Dee
