Runaway

My 7 year old is BiPolar and on medications. Sometimes things are good, other times it's a nightmare. God has taught us a lot through our children and the same is true of our 7 year old.

Tonight she was violent, angry, and LOUD. She scares us and the other kids, especially our 3 year old. (Just so you know, she is not only on medications but sees a child psychologist as well) At any rate when she calmed down tonight she started to pack, in order to run away. Our three year old who was scared of her earlier walked over and took her hand and said "You don't leave". My wife and I melted. Such love and tenderness in that little girl. Oh and how cute is this, our would be runaway packed her light saber. We told her the world is scary and there is danger, so she packed protection. Love it!

We were able to connect with our 7 year old and mend things. Still these nights take years off of my life and I long for the day we get things more stable for our child.
