[QUOTE="waytootired, post: 57022, member: 3791"] Hi and Welcome...Your story sounds so much like ours. We too adopted our difficult child at birth....many of your difficult child examples are what we live with each day... Similarities: It sounds strange but changes seem to set her off. Things such as the start of school, end of school and etc. When we are in a regular routine things go great.She has problems with authority and rules in general. They just weren't made for her. In her diary she wrote she wished there were no rules. She argues, refuses to obay rules, can get quite angry, can loose her temper easily and the yelling drives me crazy.... Our difficult child's birthmother is bipolar(but in major denial)and so is her brother and their mother. It is very hereditary. Our son was diagnosed about two years ago with Early Onset Bipolar. He is extremely moody, with many triggers for angry outburst and can turn into rages very quickly. Triggers are when he is tired, bored, told "No", when he hasn't eaten or when he doesn't get his way or what he wants.. He can be violent and verbally abusive when not on medication. We started with antidepressants when he was seven and they only made him worse. A year and a half ago we moved to mood stableizers which have helped a great deal......I can not say your difficult child is bipolar, just that we share a lot of the very same characteristics in our difficult child's. But I would sure get a full evauluation soon..then you can get her some help and hopefully some relief from herself..an for you. It is exhausting, frustrating and heartbreaking but please know you are not alone. Hugs.... [/QUOTE]
