[QUOTE="kris, post: 24775, member: 74"] [I]hi, CJ, & welcome to the board. i think since CPS is still in your lives now is the time to ask for respite care. it would give you, husband & the littles a break from what sounds like unrelenting stress. what happens when she threatens suicide? do you call the crisis team or do you transport her to the ER for evaluation? how frequently does she express suicidal ideation? is there ever any gestures that go with-the ideation? when you contact the crisis team what do they do/suggest? since psychiatrist is suggesting a mood stabilizer i'm going to guess Borderline (BPD) means bipolar rather than borderline personality disorder. if that's what he suspects then hopefully a mood stabilizer will help her. unfortunately medicating our kids is more art than science. psychotropic medications act differeently in each person so it can take a few medication trials before finding the one that works for your child. be patient with-this process. also if he suspects bipolar it could be the stimulant is exacerbating her aggression rather then helping. i found The Expolsive Child by ross greene to be very helpful. first behaviors you choose are those of safety. no violence against others & certainly no violence against herself. if you look on the homepage you can find a section that lists books. search through them & see if you find any you might find helpful. you might also want to check out some of the links on bipolar that we have. is the therapist addressing issues of PTSD?? given her previous homelife it would be a logical thing to do i would think. kris [/I] [/QUOTE]
