RE: Monday madness

I am no expert, but it clear that something inside her is aching. You are in a tight spot since through the process you need to look out for the baby, and she can get defensive. On top of that, teenage years can be difficult. For that, maybe therapy, pets, family love, and/or understanding can help. It's hard and it takes time.

I wish you the best.

Thank you.
She is 19, bipolar with borderline personality disorder. We have 2 dogs, a close family of myself, my mom and her & we've been to and through all sorts of hospitals, therapy, residential facilities to include family therapy. I have been by her side fighting for her since, well her whole life. It became evident at the onset of puberty that something deeper was going on for her. That is when therapy started. We have been down a long path of self harm, violence, substance abuse, running away and more.
My goal has always been to set her up.for success to give her what she needs to become a successful adult, no matter what success may look like for her.
She has always had trouble with accountability as well as anger. She is very verbally abusive with me as well as her boyfriend and i worry that the baby will eventually get it too as she already gets some.
I just want to get her the help she needsto sore past this season and see how bright her future could be if she would only allow it.
Thabks for letting me vent.

It must be really hard, but it sounds like you are giving it your best. Stay strong.

No problem.
