at the Wiped Out house tonight. easy child/difficult child who almost seemed to be coming out of her funk is back in it big time.
Last weekend her and husband went to Michigan to see Gone With the Wind on the big screen. We were all going to go but I suggested to her that maybe it would be some good time for her and Dad. She loved the idea and last week we actually saw a couple of smiles over things. She even hugged me and jumped for joy when I found my Kindle (long story).
When she left last week she gave me a hug and her and husband had a decent weekend. He said she didn't talk much but did talk some. Then on Sunday when she got home she was still in a decent mood.
Her return to her funk started on Monday.
We asked her a couple of nights ago to do dishes. She didn't then a day later did a few of them. We are trying to stand firm but I don't think she is ever going to do them.
She is isolating herself again and SCREAMING about everything! Yesterday she got home and started screaming that difficult child had left the lights and tv on (true but she does stuff like this all the time). Then she started screaming how he left a mess (yet her cereal bowl from the morning was still on the table). Next she was screaming about the fact that difficult child ate her can of spaghetti and meatballs (husband had bought two cans-one for each and had told difficult child he could have it).
Tonight she came home and we opened her progress report (she is on academic probation). Two of the classes had no grades and said to contact the teachers. I asked her what she thought they had to say. She screamed that it said to contact them and she didn't know. When I tried to tell her I thought she might know she went off screaming about how much she truly hates me. (like I said not a banner night-difficult child called me a pu*** tonight because I made him take his medications).
I don't know if she is taking her medications although I'm leaving them out each morning. The nighttime one (the Remeron) we were giving her and she was willingly taking it but since she returned from Michigan she has kept it in her room. I think we will be taking it back out.
Seriously when she gets like this I get so concerned. Last night at my NAMI class I'm taking she sounded so much like the other difficult children that parents were talking about. It made me think that she truly is a difficult child. I just really don't know how to help her when she is like this which is a big portion of the time.
I do know I'm so very weary of all the screaming she does. At the time I am so worried for her.
