She and I are about the same height and weight making it feel like I put in a couple rounds in a boxing ring sometimes, but the pain in my heart far outweighs any physical pain.
I'm at a total loss and about out of tears.

I wish I could help in some way, but all I can say is that I understand. It is awful being hit, kicked, bitten, etc by your own child. You want to blame them, but you know that deep down they don't want to be doing this and it makes your heart ache even more.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon this blog, I am in tears reading this as it feels like I have written it! my daughter is 14, about the same size as me and is having HORRIBLE symptoms of BiPolar, however she has not been formally diagnosed yet. I am going crazy, if they don't do something soon, one of us is going to be hurt.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is so broken right now and you are so right, the pain in your heart outweights the physical pain. I hate this for her, I hate it for me. I don't know how to help her!
I recently found your blog while trying to search for something to calm my Bipolar Rage. Never found a page that described my symptoms so well as the page about the meltdown. Thank you. My relationship with my mother is rocky too, I'm 20 now, was diagnosed at 19. However, my symptoms stem all the way back to childhood and unfortunately now even while under several medications. My mother on the other hand, will yell at me, taunt me, and then kind of a say that I was lying when I say that I didn't mean to blow up, but now realize that it was irrational and say I'm sorry. But it's websites like this that make recovery easier.
ReplyDeleteI know i'm super late but i ran across this looking up iep plans. Reading your blog is therapy for my soul. I've had to have police escort her to the mental hospital and that was an okay day. My faith is what keeps me grounded but it gets so hard at times
ReplyDeleteI suspect that my granddaughter whom I have raised is bipolar, she is now 17. The raging started about a year ago. Before that she had severe depression and before that was cutting. I didn’t realize what was happening I thought it was my lack of parenting skills because her mom, my daughter was the same way. We have lots of mental issues in my family. I feel better knowing what is happening now, she doesn’t hate me like I thought she did. Getting her to accept this and getting her back to her counselor is another story. How do you talk to your teenager about the possibility of them having bipolar without them going off? It’s been getting very frequent and I’ve been thinking of kicking her out before someone (me) gets hurt
ReplyDeletemiss, i say sit down with her and have a calm conversation about it. tell her what you are feeling. then tell her what the concequences are if it keeps happening. dont be harsh about it just..tell her what will happen if it keeps up. tell her that she needs to go she needs to get help.she will feel better when she does. maybe that will help
