[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 525105, member: 1233"] Bipolar is one of the disorders most likely to self medicate. The first question many sub abuse counselors/workers ask in this area is if you have any history of bipolar or of manic or depressive episodes. they also ask about any bipolar in the family tree. one sx of bipolar is hypersexuality, also, so that might contrbute to the changes in her. you can use your illnesses to excuse behavior or to give you a reason to work harder. push her to work harder. adopt 'do to get' and make it harsh and consistent. everything she wants has to be gotten after she does something to earn it. period. i like the line I read in an interview in a food magazine recently - those who eat, work. make it real for her. She is disrespectful of you and not her dad because she knows you love her and won't stop, so she feels she can do whatever she wants. She isn't so sure of daddy. BUT that is not the way to treat soemone you love and who loves you. So start making her earn everything above the abso mininum required by law. [/QUOTE]
