i'm having a terrible time with my 10 yr old daughter and i'm getting to a total loss as of what I can do to help the situation some , she has some pretty serious mental problems and gets violent almost daily , she has been in the mental hospital 4 times this year and also does 8 hrs of in home therapy every week , now i love my daughter but i'm expecting again and shes really crossing the line, i have called the police to help me before and they wont arrest her because of her age they can only give her a ticket that i'm gonna have to pay, im really considering a boot camp of some type for her but im not having any luck on a boot camp for a 10 yr old girl if you know of anything i'm looking for help!
well shes bipolar with psychotic features , depression , adhd , anxiety disorder with sleep apnea and high blood pressure , she gets dellusional from time to time and has gotten suicidal in the past , she has a pattern going on and its very disturbing at times and we are trying everything to help get through to her its very hard to deal with
yes she is highly medicated she is on 2 differant anti psychotics and one for the adhd and then she has a seditive 3 times a day and then there is her sleeping meds and the anxiety med also helps with her blood pressure .... i realize that boot camp can be extreme but i cant keep goin though this she hasnt been able to go to school since last november im still waiting to hear if they are going to let her come back or not shes a liability issue there complete bs but the other parents dont want there kids around her shes threatn many students and a few teachers and she attemped suicide in front of her entire girl scout troop last febuary.. it just breaks my heart everytime she has to go to the hospital and then she comes home and does good for about 2 days i have to lock up everything from her ... please keep in consideration that in 2009 our home burnt down and she lost everything her things her friends her cat and i swear a part of her died that day and she hasnt been right ever since then i miss my daughter and really want her back but i fear that may never happen and if she doesnt change shes gonna really hurt someone some day
This has got to be so hard. I'm so very sorry for your DD and you.
Do you think Hospitalization will work for her? Maybe they need to re evaluate the meds she is on. And until they get her leveled out again, it may be the best thing for her?
I really don't have any advice, just some thoughts and a shoulder for you. ((hugs momma))
My oldest son suffers from generalized anxiety and I know that it has gotten a thousand times worse since the hormones have kicked in. He is normally very good at self coping, but I've found myself getting involved a lot more often. I truely do feelf for you and will pray for you and your dd.
I would honestly listen to Stacy's (psych_mom) advice. This is her area of knowledge for sure, and she is very helpful. I wish that I had more to offer you. *hugs*
S/O Does your tween have something you hate?
