[QUOTE="compassion, post: 246590, member: 6393"] Beth, Your difficult child sounds lots like my difficult child, also 15, she has been in phospital and then Residential Treatment Center (RTC) since Feb. 3. She has bipolar, conduct disorder, and subatance abuse. I know how scary and overwhelming this is for you. Welcome, glad you found us here. First off, get support for you: this board, you can share and read every day, Al-ANon hleps with detahcment, self-care, boundaries, etc., Nami helps with understanidng mental illness. I highly reccomend CABF (online) for support with bipolar teens. Also, a therapist for YOU that you can vent, get support from,etc. In my experince, start the process to get SSI so you can get medicaid to finance Residential Treatment Center (RTC). It is a process . The nerupsych is a good idea but this is a long process and you sound in a crisis situaition. I would reccomend a child/adolecnt psychiatrist with experince in bipolar. With what you discribed, it sounds like phospital might be the next step and then to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). My difficult child is now in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). It is mixed of course. But one of the scary thngs is like with your daughter, she was acting out sexually wiht older guys. This is hypersexuality of bipolar , so is th rages, the juming off balconies, she ran away doxzens of times t=dince June, stole thousands of dollsars from us, stole cars. I tried so hard to stabilize her at home and 85% releived she is in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Compassion [/QUOTE]
