[QUOTE="sanityisoverrated406, post: 403739, member: 11062"] First of all, thank you for responding...it is so nice to find a forum geared for parents who are going through these kinds of issues. Yes, definitely hoarding and eating...and she definitely craves carbs! I don't know much about my husband's ex-wife, other than what she put the kids through. She was (I think) bipolar...or at least she certainly had a mood disorder of some sort. She was on different drugs from time to time...moved constantly, and changed boyfriends frequently. The kids were very young at that point. She was abusive...mostly emotionally, but sometimes the kids came home with cigarette burns or bruises...which was so rough because I was the one who was with her when she was with us...but the courts wouldn't listen to me (as the stepmom.) It took one of the ex's boyfriend's son sexually abusing her for the courts to give my husband full custody. :( She has been with us, full time, since she was about four...only having supervised visitation with her mother. Five years ago her mom moved out of state...and we never heard from her again. She is a smart girl...a brilliant writer...but she has these horrible mood swings. They get better when she is on the Abilify. She has openly admitted that she doesn't think it's fair that our younger ones didn't have the same life she did...that they had parents who loved them from the beginning. She takes much of her anger out on me and our 4-year-old daughter. The boys...she isn't mean...she is just rough...like a small child is with a pet. She has thrown things at her older brother, though...a picture frame, or whatever else is in her reach. She takes things...nothing big, mostly personal items of mine...like make-up, razers, etc. Or office supplies. I don't think she has stolen anything outside the home. I am just having a hard time dealing with her attitude...her anger...the hiding things. She is very resentful...I don't even know how to go about helping her, because she pushes me (and everyone else) away. I'm so scared that if she's like this now, at 13....what will she be like at 16?? [/QUOTE]
