[QUOTE="GoodluckGirl, post: 704000, member: 21127"] Thanks for the reply. I'd consider her disruptive but not dangerous at this time. She quickly crosses into dangerous the moment medication is skipped or stops working. I believe she currently needs an adjustment but she refuses convey that to her psychiatric so there is nothing we can do. We are the problem as far as she is concerned. Everyone else tells her she's amazing. And maybe they do? Mania in small doses can be fun to the young and naïve. She's keeps her verbal assaults in check with coworkers and casual friends. She burned through all her longterm friends over the summer but refuses to admit she's the problem there either. Right now, she's using a girl she went to junior high with for a place to crash. She didn't want to acknowledge this kid in high school... ugh! I am doing ok. I see a therapist weekly and I think that has been the driving force behind my tough stance. Self preservation and protecting my other kids comes first. I don't love her any less. I love her enough to let her fail. Her dad is having a harder time with this. Her brothers are detached enough to let it be whatever it is. I'm going to have to coach her sister through not enabling her when she doesn't have any money or is lonely but she can do it. Plus sister has a rocking therapist who she can talk to. Like many difficult children here, she feels no remorse over stealing from family members. She helps herself to her siblings cash and belongings. Oddly, I don't think she'd ever steal from an acquaintance. So why does she feel entitled to treat her family with such disdain? I'm trying to sort this out because things like this are the reason she can't live in our home. She's not a good person when she's with family. She does seem to be better with strangers. Is this attachment disorder? Borderline personality? bipolar? [/QUOTE]
