[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 341784, member: 1233"] Welcome. I am sorry you are struggling so. It must hurt so badly to see your grands living this way and your granddau so joyless. Do you and son in law speak? Get along? It may be that you and sister in law have to work together. HE may be allowed to let you speak with school, or HE may be able to give them a true picture of things. This will help your daughter and grands in the long run. It sounds as though she is on the wrong medications AND that she may be involved in drugs. I know you don't watn to think so, but often people will turn to drugs/alcohol to self medicate when things are "off" in their brains. It is very very common. also, most of the medications she has been on are known to make those with bipolar/mood disorders cycle rapidly or become very manic or very depressed. Have you done much reading on bipolar? Has her husband? maybe sister in law can talk to her psychiatrist - usually a spouse is allowed to. Heck, just her saying that you are all ganging up on her may be enough for the doctor to think she is paranoid or otherwise having problems. I do think that calls to social services should be done regularly. At least it will mean that she is checked on regularly. Sending lots of hugs, and suggesting you attend some al anon meetings. Your daughter may not be openly drinking, but her behavior suggests alcohol or drug abuse. I also suggest a bipolar/depression support group if one meets in your area. [/QUOTE]
