Hello there, I have BP1 and so does a close family member, although she is deeply in denial (doesn’t believe she’s bipolar) and people suspect she also has a personality disorder.

I enjoy writing and have written a pretty lengthy poem that shares my perspective and how her actions and decisions have affected me. I wasn’t exactly sure how to title this, because this isn’t an intervention exactly, but I’m wondering if it even makes sense to share the writing with her at all. It’s pretty bleak tbh and I know that this won’t change her behavior, but maybe it’d be relieving for me to at least share my perspective of some of the events I witnessed her though (mixed episodes, involuntary stays specifically)? In some ways I’m not sure if rehashing will just make this worse because she doesn’t really hear me when I try to talk to her. Does anyone have any experience with something similar, either from my perspective or the perspective of someone receiving?
