[QUOTE="GoodluckGirl, post: 717157, member: 21127"] It's been a rough year. Difficult child has been held twice at psychiatric hospitals since March. First time, she was given a choice of voluntary hold or going to jail after breaking into our home and assaulting dad and sister. The second, involuntary, after leaving a suicide note and photos of herself on our doorstep (gesturing). She finally has a diagnosis of mixed Bipolar, rapid cycling. It's a start. She won't cooperate with treatment long enough to file for ssdi. She quits taking medication as soon as medical supervision is over. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get her stable long enough to arrange better circumstances. It's so frustrating. We caved once and let stay in our home on a trail basis... but she kicked herself out whilst having a tantrum after we busted her for stealing $140 a couple days in. She was flabbergasted when we wouldn't allow her to grace us with her return the next day. I'm amazed at how much chaos one person can orchestrate at any given time. Since the new year began: -She has obtained and lost at least eight jobs. Two of which have filed criminal trespass charges on her. None have been full time or lasted longer than a few weeks -Been evicted from eight living situations that I know of. -On a daily basis, she spins stories of dead/dying friends, her own personal medical emergencies, car emergencies, being stalked or threatened by individuals requiring police chases/interventions/arrests. She "found" her birth parents but both are dead. She made claims that we, her adoptive family, abuse her. IT NEVER ENDS! It seems whatever we do has to be top secret. We can't celebrate or plan anything without her invading and ruining it. My son just had surgery and we told no one, not even grandparents, so he could have peace during his recovery. Even with that, her radar pinged and drama was in full swing all week long. I've cut off contact. I do not respond to her texts and blocked her on social media. Her siblings and I are going to begin attending a support group for families of the mentally ill and regroup. When I started this journey last fall, I had no idea how sick she was. I thought a little reality would help her understand she needed more help than she was willing to admit. I don't think any of these experiences made her grow. She has just became more damaged, bitter, and out of control. [/QUOTE]
