These are our twins, B & S. They are good children. We have been their guardians for almost 6 yrs. S was diagnosed as bipolar this last summer. B has anxiety/sensory issues, although she seems to be doing well right now. S has frequent meltdowns although those too have slowed down due to medication. Their mother is also bipolar and was recently arrested for breaking and entering, forgery, and I don't know what else. She finally called tonight crying to tell me how embarassed and sorry she was. She wants to come talk to me and then the kids. To "explain" things to them. She says she will probably get probation b/c of her mental state. My question is, where does responsibility and choice come in? Can she just blame all her problems on the bipolarism? And how much do the kids need to know? Does she need to tell them every little bit of what has happened? She is probably going to be hospitalized for a few weeks at least.
