[QUOTE="compassion, post: 216764, member: 6393"] Thanks all. I do suspect birthmom drank and now suspect she was bipolar and who knows about bdad. We have two safes and everything is locked up-credit cards and keys. We also have installed Lo-Jack on one vechicle and steering wheel locks on the other cars. She has a permit and I have been letting her drive with me in the car. She does stil have the key , she wreswtled in from my husband a month ago and tht needs to come back-the car is currently in the shop. She does have diagnosis of bipolar, alchol abuser and conduct disorder. She has not been offically evaluated for anything on the spectrum or Learning Disability (LD). She is deaf in left ear. The psychiatrist reccomens ltr that deals with both menta ilness and substance abuse. It is about 40 minues from here. Basically we told her she has until second week in Dec. to do her best (nor run, stay sober, abide by behavior contract) I am stil hoping shecan do it out-patient. She is on day 12 of being sober. I really did not relize the subatances were suchan issuse until the last month. I was focusd on the new bipolar diagnois plus thought it was impulsestuff. About a monthh ago she came back with a lot of liquor , cigarettes,etc. Plus, lots of pics on My Space. So, I think the moodstabilizers (Lactimal) and anti-psychotic (Abilify) never got a chance to work as she was not here a lot and the nicotine. She is looking better some of th etime but she isvery riugh ariund theedges. She thinks she is ready to go to college anddo whatever she wants. She just wrote someone on My Space last night thatshe was planning to takeclasses at cc in spring and she has not made itthough-is behind hope to catch up some in Jan. We homeschoool and she does a distance ed. prgram (private) She is with dad and brother getting the tree for Chritmas. Mom is getting a break :) She wil go to AA today. Compassion,55 husband,60 taking more of a role difficult child daughter 15 bipolar, substance abuser, cd adopted at birth ds 18 adhd, predominanty inattentive type,mild, Learning Disability (LD)(cgnitive procesing and Math Disorder), adpted at birth; never medicatted somphmore in colee quite the young man difficult child ds 33, no contact from him summer, 2006 I e-Mai him monthy [/QUOTE]
