[QUOTE="jvbs, post: 372056"] I'm jumping in with both feet, well, because that just seems to be the only way to do things lately. I'm Beth, 50. I live with my hubby, John, 51, and my kidlette (granddaughter we are raising), Alexandria, 13. Right now my daughter, Shelly, 31, and her two kids, Carl 10, and the difficult child Railyn, 6, are living here (ok, I didn't jump in with both feet, I did read a little first). My daughter is working full time at one job and part time at another, so I seem to be the chief cook and bottle washer around these parts. Railyn has not been diagnosis'd with anything yet. The psychiatric. is thinking bipolar, but not sure yet. She has meltdowns for no reason. Sometimes she can go an entire afternoon with no problems, other times if you look at her cross-eyed, she becomes violent, screaming, kicking, biting, head-butting, pinching. We've been wrapping her in a blanket as much as we can when we have to restrain her. Right now her mother has 10 or so bitemarks up and down both arms, we're all black and blue, and no one has had a good night's sleep in weeks. I'm not new to all this. I have 3 adult kids. The oldest is Mom. The other two are both difficult child's. My son (30) is Aspie with ODD and ADHD, and my youngest daughter (29) is Borderline (BPD) and Bipolar. I have to say, though, that Railyn has been more challenging than I remember my two being. I'm looking forward to brainstorming and learning here. Beth [/QUOTE]
