jennifer. i'm glad you found us.
you know, what you said about "brat behavier"...ALL kids can have that. it just the part of kids that haven't learned how to deal or cope with new emotions. so they tend to act out. more out of frustration.
then you toss in the pre-teen girl thing...and you daughter has a lot to deal with. so do you.
i think you are an awesome mom to have sought out the help for her and got a dx! bipolar... it is an illness. so many kids get left un dx'ed and untreated.
