[QUOTE="hamsterwheel, post: 326246, member: 2281"] My difficult child's diagnosis is Bipolar, but many therapists do not feel this is accurate as she is able to control herself when she chooses to. Some have suggested borderline personality but again nothing can be confirmed. Most often, she escalates because she is told no or is asked to do something and just doesnt want to do it. Hospital reports always say sense of entitlement. It is mostly suggested that she is just stubborn. The recent hospitalization came from the school where she refused to co operate, walked out of the classroom and started walking around the school. When they locked the school down and she couldnt get out, she became aggressive. Which is extremely unusual. She loves going to school. Consequently she was removed in handcuffs to an ambulance. This is very sad to say, but she needs to be in the hospital for several reasons. Foremost her safety, secondly, I needed to be able to go to sleep in peace. Not sitting on the couch fully dressed in case she runs off again or if she doesnt like what I say wondering if she will come after me again. At this point we are waiting for residential, but in the interim, she will have to come home, again. This is a huge problem. Although I want her home with all my heart, I can not keep her safe from herself and what happens if she hurts someone else? All the agencies are aware of this, but there is nothing they can do, so they say. She is too young to go to a shelter and there are no other facilities to accommodate her. I am really stuck, scared she may do something to endanger herself and others. [/QUOTE]
