[QUOTE="kwioake, post: 500700, member: 13579"] Thanks for all the encouragement...her psychiatrist had recently diagnosed her with intermittent explosive disorder which was based on descriptions of her behaviors not actual brain imaging. She has been on valproic acid/depakote but I think on a fairly low dosage. My understanding of co-conservatorship is that basically we would have joint custody with the state...that we would pay "child support" based on our finances but my understanding is limited. I find that I am able to think more clearly the longer she is gone, but when we talk on the phone, I can easily get sucked in/buttons pushed/triggered to anger...as much as I know that she just doesn't get it, it feels like she should be able to.... I've also looked into the child in needs of services thing but I don't find information for the state we live in (Texas). A person that my husband talked to from a long term facility also suggested moving to another state since Texas is known to be pitiful in its financial support of children in her situation...I would love to move and could but my husband is a professor and finding a job for him is not so easy. I also think it would be pretty traumatic for my 13 year old and lord knows, he has had to deal with enough change recently. He is super close with his older brother who will be leaving home for college in the fall...trying to keep somethings stable... [/QUOTE]
