[QUOTE="ksm, post: 536425, member: 12511"] Your sentence about trying to control everything around them really fits what is going on with our difficult child. She is 14 and she wants to tell everyone where to sit at the table, who gets to sit in the front seat (always her!) what food we should have for supper, how to spend our money, etc. Just 5 minutes ago, I woke the girls up for church and told them I had made baked Amish oatmeal with apples and cinnamon for breakfast, and her response... why can't we just have plain oatmeal sometimes? Duh. I have fixed baked oatmeal twice this year! Sometimes she will get an idea in her head... and then runs with it. She will then bring it up and when we make some changes as to what will actually happen, it is a melt down, as in her head, it was supposed to be... "go to the mall, stop for ice cream, go to a movie" But maybe what she is offered is "stop by Target, then grocery store to buy ice cream, and then watch a movie on netflix." Of course all her plans involve me spending my money on what she wants... not her spending any of her money for what she wants. I do worry about bipolar... as her biomom is bipolar. I really do think we will get to that diagnosis eventually, but it seems like therapists only want to give "symptoms" and not diagnosis. Sorry I am venting too. Wish I had answers! KSM [/QUOTE]
