My DIL is diagnosed bi-polar and pretty mellow if she takes her meds but off she becomes verbally abusive to my son and grandson. She sees to my grandson's basic needs but has the nurturing skills of a rock. When she becomes flustered or feels threatened in her mind she can't shut up. My grandson used to be a polite happy little guy up to the age of 5 but has become an angry child since she started taking him to a psych and insisted he be medicated too. Twice she insisted her doctor up his medication and he's been in trouble at school ever since. My son can not get off work to attend the psych visits so he goes off of my DIL's word. My grandson is now 8, lives 6 hours away, and I see him about 10-15 times a year. I moved to OKC to be near him several years ago, stayed a year, then moved back to KCMO because I couldn't stand my DIL. My grandson hates his mother but lives his dad. Any have any suggestions? I don't want to loose my grandson.
