[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714552, member: 1550"] Im not saying daughter doesnt have bipolar but unless she has major ups (major swings often with psychosis) it isnt the ultra bad kind of bipolar and it takes more than a few medication tries, therapy, and NOT the ability to abuse the family to get stable. I have a mood disorder too. It took time and hard work, but various mood disorders are common and treatable. They are not excuses to destroy a family. Since mental illness is not able to be tangibly diagnosed in a perfect way, the label is just the psychiatrists best guess and five doctors can draw five different conclusions. I believe your daughter can control herself or learn to, but she doesnt care. By eighteen (and I had no family support) I was already trying on my own to get help. By that age it is up to them no matter what is wrong. We lack the legal ability to do anything. And we cant for e them to try hard either. Sometimes too much love and second chances stands in the way of progress.i have no idea if I would have progressed and tried so hard if my parents would have tried to do it for me or pitied me. They were not kind and understanding but that triggered me to seek help on my own and vigorously. Just my thoughts...... [/QUOTE]
