My daughter is 26, she has two children, she's recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was hospitalized for about a week. She has weekly counceling sessions. When she was released from the hospital she had no where to go and came to live with me. Her children already live here. That was about a month ago. She sits on the couch and reads, she sleeps a lot, and she goes to the grocery store to buy snacks most every day. That's all she does. Once or twice a week I can get her to wash dishes or fold laundry. Every day, at least once, I have to stop her from yelling at the kids over nothing, ie one of them will say, "Mom, look at this" or they'll be playing and she can't stand the noise. I'm at a total loss as to what to do. I've tried to get her to find a part time job, a support group, something. This can't possibly be good for her, and it's sure not good for the kids. Please someone give me some advice!
