[QUOTE="Peaceful, post: 111329, member: 4459"] Hi. I'm new to this forum and was interested in anyone with experience with the courts and their kids. I have a daughter who's 13 and is BiPolar (BP), ODD, SAD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). We've been dealing with her issues for about 10 years. Her BiPolar (BP) is stable for the most part but her ODD is raging right now. She's been under psychiatrist and therapist care since she was 6. We've learned over the years to tell the difference between raging that's a result of mood and raging that's a result of ODD. A brief hx: She has been hospitalized twice in a psychiatric hospital and has attempted suicide twice, at 7 and 8 yrs old. She has had an IEP since she was 7 and was unable to attend regular school for 2 1/2 yrs and was in a PHP. She's now in public school in a SED class and they're doing a fantastic job. She has had cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, and now DBT which is working the best. She has had occupational therapy, speech language therapy, art therapy, light therapy a therapy dog for aggression and any other therapy that was ever suggested by professionals to see if it would help her. Various things have worked with various levels of success. She has been on every medication available for BiPolar (BP) and severe depression and we now have a good mix. She has a history of running away, truancy from school, physical violence and property destruction. Since she turned 13 it has escalated as is normal from what I have read but it's also gotten to the point where safety has become an issue. For this reason we've had to call the police on several occasions and recently have files Disorderly Conduct charges in the juvenile court. We will not allow safety to be comrpomised in our home. She has found stability with her mood with medication changes and is actually pleasant about 75% of the time - until she's told no. Then all bets are off. We studied the Explosive Child about 7 yrs ago and found some of the techniques to be effective. Some are not. We now use Love & Logic parenting which has worked the best so far for us as far as finding a way to have some peace in the house on occasion. Due to her behaviors she now has a court date on Friday. Probation is a probability, husband is a possibility and knowing her, she may end up court ordered to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and become a ward of the court. I am hoping there's some parents on this forum with experience with that who'd be willing to share with us. Thanks! daughter 13yo, BiPolar (BP), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), ODD, SAD - Buspar 60 mg Lithium 1200 mg - 8th grade DS 9 yo, typical little boy living with-a BiPolar (BP), ODD big sister - 4th grade Married to husband, a great guy Me - Keeping the faith [/QUOTE]
