[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 748887, member: 4152"] I’m so sorry. Our adopted daughter has this illness. She is in her 30s now. I have health issues and that combined with caring for her completely changed the trajectory of my life. Big time. When she was in a special pre school )she got kicked out of regular ones) a teacher told me to “run interference” for her. I think (if course) she was trying to help. I gave it 110 percent. It almost wrecked everything I hold dear in my life. Today, our daughter is on disability and can’t work. My husband says if I had not done all that I did it would of been worse. I just don’t know. Who knows? There are still many issues. I had to go to therapy off and on. Heck, my husband and I had to go together off and on because we were clueless on how to handle her care. Our bio son was negatively influenced too. We have learned not to let her be mean to us. We simply won’t tolerate it. Last Xmas was the first in like 30 years that was peaceful. She opened her mouth and was snarky and we sent her to a hotel. I have cancelled her phone for a couple of days when she has been mean to me on the phone. That is one thing she is terrified of. I hate doing it, but manic and all...it will stop the abuse. I have found when it comes to verbal abuse she often has at least a tiny bit of self control...no doubt hard...but a tiny bit. Hard as heck...all of it. It sounds like he is having bad mood swings. Hopefully he can get steady enough to want to and actually will get back on his regular medications. Hopefully he will borrow a charger. But, you don’t ever have to take abuse. Take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
