For a little backstory, my dad and i are both bipolar 1. He has had a delusion this manic cycle that my mom had been having an affair. He has all of this “evidence” against her. For the record.. my mother has never, and would never cheat. They have been together 25 years and she never has for Christ sake idk why she would start now. Anyway, he is very very hurt, angry, scared and betrayed by this. He was telling me about these feelings today he was dealing with in relation to the delusion. When i am manic people validating that i am allowed to feel the way i feel about things (even if they aren’t really real) helps tremendously. On the flip side my actual delusions themselves being confirmed is so unhelpful. Idk if this is articulated well but if anybody has any suggestions they’d be greatly appreciated ♥️
