I'm so sorry to hear about your father's hospitalization and the added stress you're experiencing with your own health. Dealing with a loved one's illness is never easy. It sounds like you're also dealing with a lot with your mother's bipolar disorder, and her behaviour is adding to the stress you're already under.

It's understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed and could use some tips on how to handle the situation. One approach could be to try to communicate with your mother in a calm and understanding manner, letting her know how her behaviour is affecting you and your family during this difficult time. You could also consider reaching out to a mental health professional or support group for advice on how to handle bipolar disorder in a loved one. Remember to take care of yourself as well, by getting enough rest, eating well, and finding ways to manage your own stress.
