Hello.
I have been trying to come up with words meaning BOTH GOOD AND BAD. i have been drawing a total blank! the only things i can think of that come close are maybe 'dual' or 'conflicted' - but these words do not capture the essence of what i'm trying to say!
Please help. Much much Appreciated, Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly what you want to say. Can you perhaps do something with the words ambiguous or ambivalent?
Best wishes, Clive
Thank you again!
What about Janus words or autoantonyms.

There's the idiom that something 'cuts both ways'.
Something can be 'a mixed blessing'. Something can be 'both good news and bad'.
Good luck, Clive
Just a try,
Good luck finding the word!
