A mum from school mentioned on the group chat today that a new child was starting school and their mother has bi polar, so not to leave our kids alone with her. We usually take turns picking each other’s kids up etc as we all work full time and don’t want to pay for after school club.
I’m bi polar, but have just never felt the need to tell anyone. No I’m thinking I should say something? A) because I want to stick up for the other mum and B) to prove a point that clearly they’d never know any different if they were already informed.
It’s really pissed me off. Aibu to say sonething? But then will I risk being ostracised from the group and my child losing friends.

@Graphista

I didn't mean that disability discrimination laws don't apply because it's a mental health condition (as you say, that is included) I meant it doesn't apply because of the context, ie: it is not happening in a workplace, public facility or any other protected space. Discrimination doesn't apply in a legal sense when it is one private citizen against another private citizen.
