[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 114040, member: 3626"] I think most of your list is reasonable. There are a couple of things I wonder about. Does she like to read? If not, an hour of reading is somewhere on this side of torture. I know it would be for my daughter. Could it be just a quiet activity like reading, drawing, etc.? The other thing is keeping private things private. I understand the desire by you (and any adult) to want family issues to stay within the family, but, at 13, that is so against the nature of a girl. This is the time that they tell EVERYTHING and if they have nothing to tell, they make it up. It seems to be in the nature of the beast. Honestly, I don't think there are many girls who could keep this one for a day, let alone 30 straight at her age. Is there a way to compromise it so that maybe it is specific things that cannot be discussed rather than being something as vague as "private?" I'm sorry you're being forced to go to such measures. I truly can't imagine having to protect myself and those I love to such an extent from another loved one. Hopefully, it is a manic reaction and the Depakote will help. Good luck on being able to keep her there for a longer period. It sounds like that wuld be the best for all at this time. [/QUOTE]
