I'm not even sure where to begin....
We thought the suicide attempt and the drug addiction were bad, now we are finding out more stuff. She's been lying, and manipulating people. She's been causing hate and discontent through-out the family. She's been a puppet-master in how things have been going.
Last summer, difficult child 1 called husband saying that his Sis had called because I was beating her. When you talked with Sis (difficult child 2), she hasn't a clue and is actually very upset about such a hurtful thing happening. (She's going to win an Academy Award someday)... we Believed difficult child 2....difficult child 1 stopped talking to us since we wouldn't believe him.
Well, since difficult child 2 has been in treatment, difficult child 2 has been visiting every weekend. He's getting his act together. He could easily move up to easy child level soon... anyways, since things were going good between us, he let us listen to some of the voice mails from his Sis....not good.
Okay, so now husband and I are filled with guilt for not believing difficult child 1 and guilt for believing difficult child 2. What a mess.
And in less than 24 hours we get to pick up difficult child 2 and bring her home. When we talked to her on Saturday, her mood was bad enough that we know it won't be a fun trip.
But what really gets me is that I think there is a lot more going on with difficult child 2 besides BiPolar (BP) and drugs. I'm actually wondering if there isn't some type of personality disorder? She's suicidal, she's become a cutter, her has a hair-trigger temper....
Any advice on how to deal with this?
