My eldest daughter is 16. She is so much to handle! We are involved with SO MANY people involved in her care it's unreal. My appointment book is always set for 1-3 appointments a day. I can't work because I'm dealing with phone calls or appointments dealing with her care. We have a pending court hearing coming up in 2 days that has me anxious. My 13 year old is having problems too. She seems to have some type of mood disorder, possibly bipolar -and between the two, I'm ready to lose my mind! I almost lost payee status for my eldest daughter's social security because of her being placed in a county facility for two months. I remedied that, then we have a car issue to contend with, called the cops because the eldest hit the youngest with an inanimate object really hard, youngest was hospitalized for possible heart issues, transportation to day treatment not showing, money problems, husband not really being overly helpful.. I'm the only one that drives or calls or signs anything relating to any of the kids care.. and I've got myself to deal with. I just got diagnosed with diabetes, type II and had a cardiac arrest in December 2011.

Today, I just asked my 13 year old that after her meeting with one of the family therapists that we're working with not to leave when she gets back. I was with the other family therapist and my husband was doing laundry at my in laws. I got back, she came back but had left before I was home. I now have missed my parent coach meeting that ended a half hour ago... am hungry and ready to cry.

I get to see my therapist (thank God) on Wednesday. But it can't come a moment too soon.

I know kids will be kids... but the stuff we're going through is over the top.

Thanks for reading!
