    bi-polar parenting?

    Hi. I don't like to use terms relating to mental illness loosely--but I wanted to catch anyone's attention who might know something about having been parented by a mother or a father who could show extreme love but also hurt you emotionally, just as successfully. If this is called something...

    All-nerves newbie says hi
