at last..............
I have had ongoing problems with my daughter, 26, for 4 to 5 yrs. She has rages, is agressive and violent towards her parents to the extent of a DVO being instituted!
She does not sleep until 3 or 4 am and consequently wakes at midday and wonders where her life has gone. She is irritable and immature also and has not held down a job for some years.
There is bipolar in the family and we thought that this was what was occuring. Mental Health thought the same but she was not unwell enough to admit. So off she went after blood tests proved that she was ok in terms of general health, pathologically.
She was prescribed Luvox, 100mg, mornings but it has not changed anything.
Another attempt to have her assessed at Mental Health determined that she has the maturity of a 10 year old and she has expressed to me that she often feels numb. Mental Health also thought that she has PTSD but although they stated that there was a bed available did not offer it to her.
She took off to stay with a friend after a few hostile words with me but arrived back after a week and slowly became verbally and physically threatening to the extent that the DVO was put in place to protect me.
She has talked about daily rape and bashings from a previous partner 4 to 5 years ago and self medicated with marijuana to a frightening extent.
Her father unfortunately assulted her when she became physical and abusive towards him for a periof of some months. He regrets same but as she has run out of places to stay she resides near him, but he is more aware of the situation now. We are desperate, can you help.
