37 yr old bipolar daughter - dixie22's Diary
View Profile This is a journal of my journey with my first born--a 37 yr old daughter diagnosed with BP about 4 yrs ago. She is a beautiful, kind and loving person until the manic episodes take over. She has given me three beautiful grandchildren and they are the loves of my life.

It's a God thing again! I called about getting a counseling session this morning and was able to get in early this afternoon. One of the counselors hadjust added Monday's on her schedule.

It was good just to be able to tell it all to someone. She suggested that we do about what we have been doing. Grandchildren first. Meet with daughter and put out that facts: what we are and are not willing to do. Mention ways that we have helped her in the past and that we cannot bail her out financially anymore.
Counselor agreed that it was probably not a good idea for daughter to go to the beach with the rest of us. I really don't think she wants to. I think she would be glad to have a way out. She'll probably go to SC to see her new internet friend or he will come to her place.

I'm concerned about granddaughter. She has started to take naps which she has not done for at least a couple of years. She gets very sleepy in the afternoon and sleep long naps. I hope she is not getting depressed. She has a lot on her. I thought she was letting it all roll of, but probably not. She misses her daddy. She seems fine except for the sleeping, at least around us she does.

I just called daughter to see if I need to pick up grandson and she started talking about granddaughter napping and that she popped off at her mom last night after coming home from her dad's. Daughter told me that she could just go live with dad. NO NO NO. She can live with us. He pets her too much--no discipline. Just another thing for me to stress about.

Father in Heaven, please intervene. What so many children have to face these days! Parents not willing to try. Too much work to keep a marriage together.

Well enough. Hope daughter gets here in time for me to go the Bible Study.
