What if it is your Daughter,...the Rage
What if it is the same type of rage you had when you were in your teens and twenties? What if the difference is it is not towards other people but is towards your own Mom? Been this way for years, she is now 27 and married.
I can call and ask the simplest of questions and it comes like a train with no way to step off the tracs.
I don't want to pass this on. I don't want anyone to go through what we have all gone through with Bipolar disorder, the moods, the meds the side effects. NO! She was supposedly tested in her early twenties when she was away at college by two psychs. NO Bipolar.
The bells and whistles are ringing, ding ding ding hey look at the swings. But how can the rage be placed onto only one person. Growing up it was me or it was her older sister who she physically hit and her older sister would hog tie her to the floor sitting on her and blow air in her face...just found this out...to get the glaze off her eyes and bring her around to reality again.
It all sounds too familiar, not the hitting but the yelling and escalating to screaming at my husband and then in my late twenties at my Mom....sought counseling for that and we fixed it nine months later.
My husband and I have chose to wait for her to call, psych said to do that. She wants to meet with her pastor and husband, np. We said we want to meet with my psych, all four of us. He is one of the leading BP pdocs in our area.
Daughter and husband move in July, we need a crash course.
Any suggestions, anyone ever go through this with their kids, no criticism, please get enough from daughter.
Thanks

Anyway, that's just an idea. Maybe it's a mix of things. But I agree you should all sit down together and have a look with a professional. Sadly, bipolar does appear to be genetic. I hope that you can repair your relationship.
