[QUOTE="!overwhelmed!, post: 667371, member: 18486"] Omg RiverWitch102...I'm so sorry to hear that. All I can tell you is NEVER let CPS anywhere near your family! That is most important. We felt we had no choice but try for guardianship. Even though our lives are a living hell thanks to CPS I still think we did the right thing. Does your stepdaughter understand she's bipolar? With a new baby coming that makes things even more difficult. If she is married to the father you don't really have any options without state intervention though - & obviously even then the goal is reunification at whatever the cost, so...you need to weigh your health both mental & physical vs caring for 2 small children. This is such a nightmare for all of us. I'll pray you come to the right decision for you & your family, whatever it is. I'm so sorry, I wish I had better information for you. But if she has an actual diagnosis of bipolar disorder it might be enough...just be forewarned it will not be easy no matter which way you go, but I'm sure you already know that! Good luck & keep us informed. I wish I could help... [/QUOTE]
