Panic as much as you want. - it won't help.

be worried for your mother, being a manic depressive and "lost" isn't a good thing.

but maybe she's clearing her head?


just focus on getting her found.
look after you and your dad.

Suspect of what exactly?
I wish people would choose their words more carefully.

I was reported missing once... i took the car drag racing and turned the rest of the week into a holiday.
No news is good news.

A friend of mine was in a really similar situation - her mother went missing with manic depression and her mother had an unsupportive interfering family- saying that it's a pretty unusual situation and nobody can tell you how to feel. Just support your dad and don't take too much of the pressure upon yourself.

This is a really hard time for you. Your grandparents are probably feeling guilty so want to blame someone else. It has probably been hard for them so try not to focus on being angry with them. I hope everything works out, manic depression is a bad condition for the sufferer and the people who love them. Good luck with everything.
