About Me
Hi! I am a single Mother of 2 girls... one 6 and one 17. The 17 year old in the past 2 years has been diagnosed w/ ADD, ODD, Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder... Difficult to truly know... so which is it? Life gives you so much to deal with daily... I have come to the conclusion that remaining strong and not giving up on hope for my daughter is the best solution. Allowing her accountability and responsibility. I allow her to fail in hope that she will learn by her mistakes. This is the most difficult for me as a parent.

Close Parenting Teenagers (12-18)
Mother of a troubled 17 year old daughter. Past 3 years has been a long road of trial and tribulation. Attempted suicide, Depression, led to long term counseling therapys and medications due to ADHD, Bi-polar, ODD, Personality disorders... Learned so much in so little time... Still learning.
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- I gave up trying to teach, yelling frustration, picking up the pieces. I have made my teen accountable for her own actions, Accountable to her own responsibility. I am allowing her to fail so that she will learn. Has it worked? She is more frustrated... however more accountable for herself. It was hard for me at first but is much more peaceful and less hectic. Allowing Failure will hopeful allow her to learn and accept.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- child, depression, behavior, medical, Family counseling. All have for the most part have had success in some areas and failure in others. Learn to accept if one does not want help... it will do no good to force the issue. Do for yourself first. Side effects: Brought more ODD then anything else... Denial and manipulation were greatly compromised.
