I wrote the therapist. He is alot of help. He says : It takes alot of patience, forgiveness, etc to parent an "explosive child". Said he would set aside one hour of therapy a month to "debrief" us. Thanks,hopefully I won't come downstairs to find my oldest daughter's neck slit open by her younger sister. Hello? Is this thing on? She threatened to kill all of us and herself! He doesn't think she will do it. Well I don't think she would kill any of us but who knows about herself. I guess she has to do something first before anyone will take us seriously but by then it will be too late!
Of course the next day she is over it and is fine. The problem is WE are't over it. Her words leave scars.
She is diagnosed bipolar and RAD towards women. She was exposed to drugs in the womb. I really think we are going to get an anti social diagnosi.

I understand how you feel. I have a 14 year old adopted son who has RAD and is bipolar. He has threatened to kill all of us and himself. I can't get the help he needs. We have worked until we just can't do it anymore. I cry and am depressed most of the time because of the stress he puts our family under. After 9 1/2 years I want to give up. But, I love him and he is my son but I have to save myself and the rest of the family. How can I dissolve this adoption?
