[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 699755, member: 355"] Recoveringenabler has hit on many of the same things we experience with our Difficult Child. She was originally diagnosed with bipolar disorder, as it was easier to obtain services for her when she was a child/adolescent. Her diagnosis now crosses a few mental illnesses: borderline personality disorder with narcissistic traits, ADHD. She can go from 0 to rage in milliseconds and then back to 0 again. The medications she was on until age 18 helped to calm her somewhat but she discontinued them the day she turned 18. Sadly, your daughter is like mine and regular parenting methods do not work. We've tried everything from rewards to removal of privileges and nothing ever worked. Rules and boundaries are never respected. I hope that you and your husband can get to the same place, so that you can be unified in your limit setting. I would not be getting her another phone. She clearly does not appreciate having one. She will have to figure things out on her own. Hopefully, she will be given information when she is discharged from hospital for resources, etc. Hang in there.....{hugs} [/QUOTE]
