    About Me

    I'm a senior citizen who works full time. I had hoped to retire to Florida and rescue greyhounds. I came to Florida and I do rescue greyhounds - currently, I have 3. Retirement is out of the question. I like my job, I love my dogs and need help coping with the highs and lows of bipolar illness.

    • Close Anger Management

      I am a single senior citizen who has cared for a 46 year old son diagnosed with bipolar disorder over the past 30 years.I work full time and care for 3 rescued greyhounds as well. I'm horribly stressed and unable to effectively handle my son's rage. Subsequenlty I lose my temper and say and do things that make the atmosphere worse. I need to know how others manage under stressful conditions.
