[QUOTE="Peaceful, post: 113386, member: 4459"] Nancy, thanks so much for the post. It means a lot to me that you remembered we had this today. It started out with daughter acting as if she didn't understand anything being said. To the point where the magistrate asked if she was on medications or if she always acted like that - not comprehending short sentences etc. We said she's on medications but she probably was nervous and didn't want to hear what he had to say because she didn't like that she was there. Eventually she pled True to the charges and he sentenced her to 90 days husband, which was suspended, compliance with medications, therapy, the PO, school, no swearing, community service and theraputic plan compliance as well. She started to show her true colors and he got on to her about respecting him and the court. He threatened to send her away today due to her attitude. He sent us immediately to a PO (I guess this is very unusual) and we had to meet with her for the conditions of probation before we left the courthouse. Her PO is a therapist and I really liked her. I think he thought she'd violate probation very quickly and end up back in court. He said he will send her to husband if she comes back to court doing the things she's been doing. So far, she's controlling herself. She's not real happy. But oh well. Such is life when you do what she's done. I have to admit I really feel like our story fits in here on this site. I'm also on a BiPolar (BP) site and it seems some want to explain every behavior a child does on instability. I guess I don't see that based on our experiences and if that were true, it would take away their humanity - their humanness. They're still teens, hormonal factories, etc not just the labels. We feel very comfortable with the professionals on our team and trust their judgment as well as our own. We've lived thru stabilizing BiPolar (BP) and her mood is stable - not much depression, very little mania. But a whole lot of anger and violence and aggression when told "no" about anything. And then the instant calm when she gets her way. That's just not dependent on mood in our experience but on choice. ODD is a crappy thing for her to have. I hope this teaches her now before it's too late. Again, thanks so much for asking. Peacful [/QUOTE]
