[QUOTE="Joanieb, post: 710414, member: 21340"] I logged on today as I'm at my wits end with my BiPolar (BP) 36 year old daughter. She makes up illnesses about my grandsons so she doesn't have or face anything and manipulates the world at round her through the BS. She hardly ever sends them to school and I think they might finally be onto her. I hope the school catches on to her. I really identify with the conflict of feelings, especially when children are involved and that's my dilemma. My daughter does not communicate at all like a normal person so I can't talk to her like you would expect to be able to even if you're argueing. At times I believe her to be psychotic and other times just plain horrible and dysfunctional. I'm lucky that to my knowledge theres no drugs or alcohol involved. I'm worried sick to the core about my grandsons. I saw them yesterday and they are living a terrible life. She doesn't feed one of them anything but ice cream and the other one is so skinny I don't know what she feeds him. The father has a low IQ so cannot process what's happening and they are separated. I've tried to talk to him and it's useless. I don't know how people of our generation ended up here with these kids. She isn't living any resemblance of a life like what she grew up with. She did not learn this stuff from me. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried intervention with family members telling Borderlines that they need help and what the outcome was? 'Somewhereouthere' I really liked your advice and it seems like you've been through it. Any advice anyone? [/QUOTE]
