[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 361878, member: 1157"] I'm sorry you're going through this. Both of my difficult children had similar reactions when in their teens, particularly to the word "NO." They are both bipolar. Their dad was a manipulator too, so I can certainly empathize there. The only other thing I can suggest is that if she becomes physically violent with you, or threatens to jump out a window again, call 911 and request a crisis evaluation. It's possible you could at least get an initial diagnosis that way, if she's committed for a temporary psychiatric hold. It will of course open a huge can of worms with the ex (been there done that), but it's an option and may open some doors, depending on your locality. If she is becoming increasingly violent, it may be necessary. [/QUOTE]
