advice

01/28/07 09:28 PM

I need some advice on my stepdaughter. She lives 4000 miles away from her father and I. My husband was deployed to Iraq and while gone her mother would call me to talk to her because she was throwing temper tantrums...she was 10. I always talked to her to find out what was going on. Mom says that she would tell her that she hates her and stuff. I even offered for her to come live with me for the rest of the yr last yr. Mom said she thought about it and decided not to. When my husband came home on leave last summer she came and spent 3 weeks with us. She told us she wanted to stay with us. Father talked to mom and mom said no. There has been abuse by the step father with CPS called out both times but one time only filled. Never knew about it until 6 months later and mom decided to tell us. Mom tells her that she is going to leave the stepfather. She never does she wants to make her marrige work. She goes back home and we don't hear from her for a few months. Called every week leaving messages and no return. Now mom calls and says she needs help with her. Her grades are falling and she doesn;t do her homework. This is a few months from when my husband is suppose to return home. So again I talk to her. My husband is home and she is now 11. She has been to multiple counslors. She still calls to tell us about the grades and my husband offers for her to come live with us for the rest of the school year. Mom says no that will not solve the problem.
The other day mom called to tell my husband that she(step daughter) told her that she has thought about suicide. She went to the counslor and they talked. Two days later she banged her head into the floor. She went to the counslor and they had a conference with my husband. Counslor agreed with what he hold her. ( that the daughter needs to listen to her mother). Now they have put her on a medication thinking she is bipoloar. Do you think living with us will help?? I feel helpless in this.
