Val Van Galder shares the trials of caring for a parent with bipolar disorder
“I will say now that I truly believe my dad was a superhero…I learned he had suffered with his disease his entire life and that he had battled mightily to have joy, a family, children, a successful career. My dad was bipolar but he was a Harvard MBA, an avid photographer, a loving husband, a champion bridge player, a great storyteller and an obsessed Seinfeld fan.”
