[QUOTE="Flores, post: 139828, member: 4938"] Hi, all. In desperation I got out of bed and decided to look again for some help. I found this site. My daughter was diagnosed with severe ADHD at age 9. School has been a constant struggle. However, the problem "du jour" is that she turned 18 a few weeks ago (she is a senior in high school). Problems that have plagued us for years seemed to explode. She decided that at 18 she did not have to follow my rules, etc. Last week (just before spring break) she became angry at my taking the car keys away for an infraction---and disappeared---for 4 days! I was sick with worry. Tonight she came back, asked if she could stay and go to church and our family Easter with me tomorrow. I told her "yes, for tonight", but that we would have to do some heavy talking. My husband and I divorced, a very sad situation, 2 years ago. My daughter is angry at her dad (angry at the world) and has become involved with sex and alcohol. One minute she is hateful and defiant, the next she is crying that she doesn't know why she does these things. She has been in counseling and is on Adderall for ADHD and Wellbutrin for depression. She is adopted---birthmom used drugs and alcohol during pregnancy. I'm trying to learn about conduct disorder, possibly bipolar disorder . . . anything that could help me know the best way to help her. Thanks! Debbie [/QUOTE]
