[QUOTE="kitty lover, post: 310074"] Thanks so much for all of your responses. I hope you know how much I appreciate all of the support. I have been following so many of you for years and feel like I personally know you. Daisy, I have seen over the years how Nichole has grown so much as a young woman and has really committed herself to Aubrey. I just pray that this will be the miracle that gives my daughter a motivation to grow up. She has not been on any medication for the past year but has tried several different things, none of which seemed to make any difference for her. She was actually ordered by her Probation Officer in August to return to counseling and to a doctor's care for medications. She was prescribed Lithium and took it for almost 2 weeks before finding out she was pregnant. She did immediately stop and isn't taking anything now (but she is taking her prenatal vitamins.) I know in my heart that there is more than just BiPolar (BP). I have always suspected she is on the spectrum due to her social skills and immaturity. I was just never able to get anyone to agree with me. She has never had a full evaluation and I'm not sure if at 21 I can get her to agree to one. Regarding insurance, fortunately for now she is on Tenncare which is like Medicaid in Tennessee. I have not had to pay one dime for health care since I have had her (including braces). When she turned 21 she was no longer eligible for dental care but health care (including mental health) remained the same. I believe that all of her medical expenses will be taken care of and that the baby will also fall under Tenncare. I will need to verify that. I don't know how long Tenncare will be around so that is something she is going to have to think about for the future. But, there are definitely food, diapers and daycare to think about. At this point, I need to be so careful about how I react to her without letting her run over me. The last thing I want to do is drive a wedge between us that may never be pulled out. I can feel that already starting to happen. I want her to know that I am right beside her. I will not do this for her, she will be the mom. I am going to try with all my being to not overstep my bounds, but if I feel the child is in danger in any way, that's when I will do what I have to do. I'm really praying that it won't come to that. I'm also concerned about post partum depression. The big question will be whether or not she has the mental ability to do this. At this point I really don't know. I will definitely been leaning on you for support and I appreciate you being there. I absolutely hate mental illness! [/QUOTE]
