Have not been around recently.

Things have been difficult lately, and I have not posted much. I have read and have kept all of you in my thoughts.

Things are hard now. My daughter is manic - we cannot get her med cocktail right. She is considered a "rapid" cycler and has also had mixed cycles, where she is up and down at the same time. She is also getting violent again.

This has sent me into a pretty bad downward spiral. I do not know how to help her and myself at the same time. She is my daughter, I love her and I need to figure this out. I have to get some stability for me.

My parents are close and watch my younger boys when needed, but they are rather "old school" and do not truly understand the issue.
My Mom tends to be over emotional about everything and my Dad thinks we tend to be weak on discipline. But, I really do appreciate the fact that they keep my boys safe when needed.
