Quote From: dhuddleston Hi, My name is De,
I have been reading all of the pages and quotes for two days now. I'm amazed how everybody can open up, in which I have a hard time doing. I have been taking different notes on how to deal and cope with this disease. My daughter(Step) is now 13, she has been diagnosed with Bipolar, OCD, PTSD,Psychosis,SIB,MMR, she has been through hell and back as a child before coming to me and her father at age 7. Right now she resides in residential with 4 day weekly home pass, sometimes she makes it two days of being home and has to be returned.
They have used so many different meds on her to no avail. We have attended counseling sessions, did research, sometimes my husband the (father )and I are on the same page other times its a fight. Due to the sexual and physical abuse from her Bio-mom and siblings I have to be careful on how to discipline and then we were told that she could become a sex predater and that when she is home she requires 24 hr supervision around other children. Is there anybody out there that can shed some light for me. I'm a parent that won't QUIT!!!!
Welcome to the board. :)
It sounds like you have your hands full. Maybe someone else will jump in and offer some wise words; all I have to offer is a hug. ((((((De)))))) It seems like you are doing everything possible for your daughter. There are many many meds. Hopefully a combo will be found that will help her.
