Hi--

I'm very sorry you are going through this. We have a teenage daughter diagnosed as bipolar last fall. She, too, had bouts of violence (holes in wall, broken doors) and sceaming the most horrible things. At one point I asked her if she wanted to hurt us as much as she could so she wouldn't be alone in her pain. That took her back a bit, and an hour or so later she wrote me a notes saying I was right. Things are not perfect now, but they are better (months of drug therapy, weekly meetings with a therapist, several stays in the hospital, a couple of suicide attempts later). She's much harder now on my wife than she is on me (daughter/mother thing?). Hang in there. I've been seeing a therapist; it helps. Things got better for us over time; I pray they will for you and your family as well.
