[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 370449"] Can you file a restraining order against STeve? Certainly seems like you have grounds for this (at the very least). AND it would show your daughter that there are consequences for inappropriate behaviors and that she is worth protection. Additionally, I'm not sure diagnosis's really matter. Perhaps she does show some signs of bipolar. Maybe medication would help. Can you get her to a doctor to find out? Certainly she could have more than one diagnosis and of course, all of it could be exacerbated by drug abuse. Personally, I wouldn't get too hung up on a diagnosis. Call it whatever you want, but if you can get her on a medication that might help her...it surely would be a plus. Also, therapy surely has the potential to help her (assuming she is open to it ... at least a little). My other post still stands....you can NOT control her. She certainly might ver well be a case where she has to hit rock bottom before the balance is tipped and she realizes she needs help. Before she realizes that she has it good with dear 'ol mom and dad. I can't imagine the living hexx you are experiencing with- her in the house. Can you set some boundaries? What about family therapy to help put that in place? If it is totally out and out chaos...you might have to cut her lose for the time being. Hold on to your spiritual beliefs....and if you don't have them....FIND THEM I can't recall...have you attended the Families Anonymous meetings yet? They are very good. I hope you are getting the support that you need....remember....you can't control her...but you DO have the option of controlling your own thoughts on this. It is HARD AS HEXX and it angers me to no end that we have been put in this position, but that does me/you NO GOOD. It is what it is....we must make a choice to move forward. [/QUOTE]
