[QUOTE="Jody, post: 414514, member: 8787"] I did a lock-out beecause she was being very abusive, physically and verbally. My health was taking a decline and the stress, was causing me to have emotional issues, memory loss, and just couldn't do it anymore. I was more than depressed. She has bi=polar and adhd and odd. She has had intensive therapy but just doesn't do well in therapy. She gets very defensive and won't participate. I definately will have a safety plan in order before she comes home. She loves me very much, I do know this we are extremely close, probably too much alike, I have some of the same diagnosis. ADHD, and Bi-polar. I understand her way of thinking at times, and understand what she is going thru, but I just simply don't feel strong enough, to care for her all the time on a full-time basis. Weekends are hard enough. I cannot imagine not ever getting away from the issues that arise from being her parent. I love her greatly, but it is so hard to do and to do it well seems impossible. At times I have this popping and cracking in my mind when she is being really bad and then this leads to terrible headaches, and memory issues and cognitive problems. I don't seem to be able to get a hold of it. I have a lot of therapy and see the psychiatrist regularly. Have ruled out other possible medical issues. It's just stress. [/QUOTE]
