[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 620477, member: 7170"] Praying is about all you can do in this situation and for husband and the other X be prepared to step in and take the kids if she snaps and ends up inpatient. If (when) it happens not having to worry about her kids will help with her treatment & recovery. Is there any chance the in home therapist would want to include you and husband as part of his treatment team? Whether they do a session at your house or have you go to X's? for it seems to me everyone involved should be following the same plan. One thing that I've found critical to bipolar stability is it needs consistency; consistency is going to be hard with 3 parents (or sets of parents) involved. Uniform rules, bedtimes & food expectations would be a place to start. What is so great is that these kids have many people all looking out for them, my kids when they needed the village all they had was a very broken mom trying to do it all by herself... not really but it felt like it many times had my parents, community mental health services & my lifeline (this website) I don't think we would have survived without this soft place to land.
