Hi-I used to come here about 4 yrs ago-and posted briefly.E was 13 at the time.Fast forward-now she is 17. Diagnosed BiPolar (BP).Did regular counseling along with medications for awhile earlier this yr. Took herself off medications because she did not like the way they made her feel.Also smokes pot-cigarettes and I think-drinks. She is Learning Disability (LD)-and a senior in HS(barely) Suspended last year for possesion of drug paraphernalia(pipe) and for fighting.I lost control of her a long time ago.She has not respected me or her Dad for yrs. Defiant does not begin to describe her.There are days I am ashamed to be her Mom. Anyway-tonite was a horror for us.Verbal fighting-horrific language-her Dad had to physically restrain her.It got really ugly really quick-to the point I was scared for her Dad's and her safety. Called 911. She took off out the window.Cops came and filed report.She is missing.Cell phone is unanswered.I am not worried for her safety-she often spends nights with-her friend who has apt. I just wish she would come home.Or let me know she is ok.This .I am sad.SO is sad.easy child is sad.All because we wouldn't let her go out at 9 pm on a school nite.Thanks for reading.
