[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 590297, member: 1514"] RE says things in such a wonderful way that is incredibly hard to follow her. She makes me feel so inadequate. Barbara, you have done so much for your kids. I can only imagine how difficult that news was to hear. I know that I felt so sorry for my parents getting that phone call about me all those years ago. It was the one thing that I did feel so awful about for them. I dont know how a parent can handle getting a phone call in the middle of the night from the police telling them to come to the hospital because their daughter had been kidnapped and raped. I think I would simply lose it. Your daughter is in an extremely lucky area to have such great services for people in her situation. Not everywhere has such services. I am so glad you can provide her with that information and I hope she will use them. Im not sure of the ages of her kids so I dont know if it wise that they know of all of this. I hope they arent with her. It really doesnt surprise me much of the way she is acting, Im sorry to say. Unmedicated bipolar people simply dont make good choices. Heck medicated bipolar people can make dumb choices sometimes. Please know you cant do anything to change her behavior. You cant work harder on her problems than she is nor should you. She isnt a small child that you are responsible for caring for. Love her unconditionally but give her the wings to do this for herself. I hope she will get tired of her situation and pull herself up. It took me until I was 38 to really understand what was wrong with me. That was a long time I know. I hope it doesnt take her that long. *Hugs. [/QUOTE]
