[QUOTE="akhughes17, post: 561017, member: 15407"] Thanks to everyone for your advice. In answer to questions, she is not under treatment. I used to take her to psychiatry and psychology religiously to no avail. She has been arrested for distribution of prescriptions at school which resulted in 2 felony charges which never went to court because the labs misplaced the medications taken into possession. Or so they say. Anyway...I don't treat her bipolar because of her addictive personality. Talking to her is like talking to a brick wall....or better yet...a really hungry lion who has just had a steak dangled in front of them. I'm pretty sure she is self medicating with marijuana which I have heard is not uncommon for bipolar personalities. I have very liberal views on marijuana although I do not smoke myself at all. I'm a firm believer in legalizing it...I certainly would rather drive by someone on the roads who has been smoking than drinking. Anyway...back to my daughter. I did let her know she will get a very nice suitcase for her 18th birthday. She has really started stressing. She actually got a job this week...but her history with jobs are attendance/tardy issues. I really hope she gets it together this time. She knows now because I made it very clear that her time here with me is coming to a close. Her dad cannot take her because he drives a truck. [/QUOTE]
