[QUOTE="Julie Y, post: 74564, member: 4063"] She has also been diagnosed with PTSD and depression, although the doctor seems to think it is a very mild case. You can tell he doesn't live with her. I will give the MH center a call after work and see what I can do. Yes she gets violent. My husband had a massive heart attack and had open heart surgery in April, came home in May after 23 days is ICU. Three days after he came home, he asked her why she didn't take the trash out like he asked and she shoved him down. He fell to the ground. It was horrible. THat is just typical of her. I feel so horrible, because there are just days that I will do whatever I can to not be around her. I desperately want to bond with her. She needs a mother in her life. I know I can't replace her mother, but I would still like to be there to help her. Her older sister has borderline personality disorder and bipolar and I have a wonderful relationship with her. We have bonded and many times when she (the older sis) starts to lose control, I can talk her down. No matter what I try with Rachel (the 12 yo), Nothing works. She has repeatedly told all of us that she wishes we were dead. Our extended family all thinks we are insane. There are times I am afraid to go to sleep when she is angry with me, because I worry that she will try to kill me in my sleep. We have tried to get help from our local children services. The most I have been able to get is assistance with "protective childcare" and that is only because that is the program I run in the neighboring county. The social service agencies all act like my husband and I are the bad guys. Sorry, Idon't mean to go on and on. I don't get a chance to talk about this very often. Can't talk at home. Hardly ever a moment of peace anymore. [/QUOTE]
