I have a 15 year old child who i took under my care a little over a year ago. Her parents didn't want her and having experiance in foster care, i didn't want this brilliant child to get lost in a system she didn't have to. It's been difficult but i am doing great with raising her and i receive compliments all the time.
she has seen me in the psych ward and has witnessed me cutting, but we've never had the chance to seriously sit down and discuss it.
Any suggestions how to bring it up and explain that i have BP?? She is quite young but i know she really looks up to me and i hope that being open with her would benefit our bond.
