Love........

       Love.......what is love? According to Websters Dictionary there are 9 definitions for this word. For the terms of this particular post we will talk about the love involved with two  individuals, a relationship. Love is such a simple word and a somewhat simple meaning. Websters defines love as "an attraction based on sexual desire; affection based on admiration". This is the desire to be with one that you hold highly in your life, someone whom you feel some strong emotions for.

       Too many times people act as though they are in love, say they are in love but yet that love is no where to be found when it is most needed. Some are quick to call something love when it is not really there. Love can be a tricky thing sometimes. Affection is sometimes misread as love. Lust is another one that is commonly mistaken as Love.

       The reason I bring up the topic of love is that most ppl who suffer from MI have issues with Love, both in means of affection and also in true love. Someone, particularly with BP, will have issues with exhibiting love as well as maintaining a loving relationship. Even the most loving individuals and/or couples bend when faced with instability. This not only will effect the couple but those around the couple.

       I personally have given up on finding my true love, heck even a passing love. My life is so absorbed in my DD's lives that my personal life is on hold, indefinitely. Im sure that in time as my DD's grow and hopefully live on their own, I can have a "normal" dating life and even find that one for me, who knows? I also pray that my DD's will be able to find their true loves despite their MI's.

       My prayer for them is to be bale to live life to the fullest and with someone who really truly loves them. The number of divorces are astronomical for ppl with MI. Their only hope is to find that one who can love them even when they do not love themselves. My sister has found just that man in her life, I was not so lucky. So until I can find that one, I wish my children have better luck then I.
