But a relief. There were times I feared we'd never get here - her denial, aided and abetted by Mr. Ostrich - was so strong. But she did it. She went to the psychiatrist, she told him the truth (as far as I can tell) and she seems willing to take the next step. She will have to get a blood workup, and then he will start her on Lithium.
I know this is just the beginning. I know medication compliance and medication management are huge. But still I am grateful. I am grateful to her rockstar therapist for gently guiding her to this point, for all of you who helped me to know that I wasn't the one losing my mind, and to difficult child for marshalling the inner strength these past months have required.
I know many things can go wrong from here but, for now, I'm going to believe in the possibility that she might be on the road to managing the chaos in her head. That really isn't too much to want for your child, is it?
