[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 228941"] I absolutely hate this as well. So many people think that problems with our difficult child's is parenting issues. I hear from my ex-mother in law all the time. After difficult child was in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), I was giving her an update and she said "oh, darn it I thought that was all over with" She told my daughter one time that she "thought she was through with that" my daughter tried to tell her that bipolar was something that they would have to deal with for the rest of their lives, grandma is in complete denial. I know she probably tells everyone that I am such a bad parent. I remember when I first had kids, she told me how her oldest son and his wife had put their son in a mental hospital for something - she said for discipline issues - who knows. Anyway, she just thought it was awful of them to do that, now with difficult child having been inpatient several times and then in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), I must be the worst mother there is! She has no clue - she hasn't seem difficult child in almost 4 years and she hasn't seen my daughter in probably 2. Alot happens in that amount of time. Christy [/QUOTE]
