just the two of us

Dear Bipolar,

Happy one month anniversary! I only wish that we had been able to make this work in that amount of time. I am also worried about our children - I do appreciate you taking my child from a previous relationship under your wing; my dear Wellbutrin is indeed thriving. It is our baby Lithium that worries me most. What sort of effect will he have on the world? Will he be as docile as his sister, or continue down the darker path of hostility? I know my questions can only really be answered with time, so I will try my best to be patient in the hope that our relationship and the life of our son will turn out for the best.

And from now on I shall try my best to have this attitude: you didn't happen to me, I happened to you.

You're stuck with me,

Carrie
