[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 730985, member: 4152"] Thank you for letting me vent and giving me great input. And thank you for those very nice words Swot. GN...you give me tremendous insight!!!! We literally have discussed all these things. As odd as this sounds, we sometimes think it is mixed states AND either brain damage or some form of autism. It is extraordinarily difficult to be around. It is much worse if she is tense. She is often tense around her brother, who is a bio child. She is often envious of him. He saves his money and is very well organized. Naturally, this results in positive things for him and his family. This confuses and troubles her. She has little to no cause and effect reasoning powers. Today she is better (more pleasant). However, earlier when we all woke up I asked her how her night was and she said “I slept funny and have some pain and I’m upset I’m not dead. “ moments later, she was happily making breakfast. She has a small amount of control of her mood swings and nastiness and I do expect her to use it...even if it is somewhat limited. Yes...sometimes she is “spoiling” for a fight. If she gets around another person with the same illness in the same state of mind...there can be an explosion. I’ve heard over the years that as folks with this or related cobditions mature, with insight and effort, they do better. on the other hand, we are doing our very best not to poke the bear. I think you know what I mean. Also, very similarly, We have changed our expectations and our doing our very best to react calmly. (Copa :)) We have set many boundaries with her and I’m pleased to say by and large they have worked. But, the overall strain is great. [/QUOTE]
