[QUOTE="Jena, post: 123765, member: 4514"] hi ruby welcome. id have to say that I too am a single mom or was up till not too long ago I do not by any means party etc. when my youngest was diagnosed with bi polar disorder and anxiety disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) i was told by my family particularly my mother that maybe it was her environment that caused it, my divorce 7 years ago, etc. i guess what i'm saying is i do not know your situation truly or your granddaugther's behaviors or your daughters for that matter. one thing i do know is it took me 2 years of constant patience and explaining for my family to come out of denial. they too felt that her behaviors were so much better with them, that she seemed fine with them, that it must be my parenting that was causing all the problems. sometines for most i think when we're too close to the problem we can't see it clearly i have that alot. try to think out of the box for a while if you can. it's wonderful that you are so concerned that you have sought out this website that shows you truly care about your grandddaughter which in itself is wonderful. maybe an idea would be to ask if you could accompany your daughter on her next dr. visit? this way you can hear first hand the reasons behind the diagnosis. good luck jen [/QUOTE]
