[QUOTE="compassion, post: 299719, member: 6393"] I want to share that this sort of behavior is symptomatic of my daighter's diagnosis of bi0polar disorder. It is a daily constant stuggle to manian money boundaries with her!!! The raging/blaming this is so draining!!!! I found I was (still sturggle with this daily) esily manipulated by guklt, pity, and fear. Now we have 3 therapists to help us deal with her plus two supports groups/sponsosrs (Al-Anon and FA) , plus this board, plus the Child and Biploar Foudation board, support group0s. How I am coping with the back to school stuff is she gets a set amount of money per item. She relaly cannot proecess the big picture like $490, it will be gone in an hour. I had husband take her to get one pair of jeans, she has 5 she will eweear, on epackage of undrwear, one package of socks , and also one pair of shoes. It helps that she is in a program that there is a sort of dress code, they weathe center's T-shirt, and no holey,baggy jeans . I CANNOT reason with her when she gets like what you described. Ican uphold the limits though. She keeps pushing them all week and keeps hanging up on me,but I am very proud of me, I did NOT CAVE IN!!!! My daughter is funcitoning much, much lower than her crhonilogical age, she is more like a youg elementray student, so it takes a lot of fimrness and calmess, and patience. The main thing I ahave foudn iscsonistent boaundaries. Also, medication adheerence. She requires an anitpsycotic and a lmood stabilizer ans she still is not fucntioning really high. It has taken awhile to have more ralsitic expectations. Keep coming back here. I would suggest checking out CABF and NAMI. Compassion [/QUOTE]
