[QUOTE="indianaterri, post: 587319, member: 16140"] Help! After a couple of years of heck my 15 yo daughter is diagnosed with a mood disorder not otherwise specified (whatever that means) and is getting treated as a bipolar. She is recently on an IEP at school and the suspensions and police calls have slowed down. But she can't STAND me and I am her trigger for defiance... I am trying like heck to get her in to a partial hospitalization situation. But I'm looking at the downhill slope to the end of the school year...SUMMER, yikes! I can't trust her to be by herself. She loves horses and would love to go to a horse camp, but I can't trust her at camp right now... Any ideas for a therapeutic ranch or summer camp? Any that will be able to deal with a bipolar adolescent? Any I should stay away from? There are some boarding schools we have looked in to that deal only with the behavior, wean them off the psychiatric medications, but that won't help her...there is no talking to her or reasoning with her unless she is more stable (and even then we haven't had her stable long enough to know if she is able to maintain these changes...) I am so glad this forum is here! I just can't talk to folks about my situation without it sounding like I should discipline her more (other than jail I'm not sure how much more I can do...) [/QUOTE]
