[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 167279, member: 1991"] G'day, Shamrock, good to see you over here too. And I think it's good news that biomother has handed the girl over to you guys - at least it means she will have more stability in her environment. If you can, get your partner to come here too, even if all he does is read the posts. You telling him will be good, but if he reads stuff for himself it will be even better. He might read something that "clicks" for him, but you telling him might not do it. Also, my husband does this and says it helps him understand what I'm feeling, even though we do talk together a lot. Sometimes I can put things more clearly in a post than in our conversation. With the waiting list for help from the school, would the mother's dumping of the girl push her up the waiting list a bit? Maybe give her a more urgent priority? Poor kid. What sort of message does that send her? Here's hoping you guys can now give her much more stability. And if BiPolar (BP) medications aren't working, I'd be looking at further assessment to see if the diagnosis is wrong. Some of her problem behaviours that might have been laid at a BiPolar (BP) door could just have been due to a confusing and disruptive environment. Or maybe there are other medications that WOULD work. Let us know how you get on. Marg [/QUOTE]
