New Name

Some of you may have noticed that I took off the North West Indiana from the blogs title. Since I am now residing in Texas it would be difficult to keep you up to date with what is going on in Indiana. I will still attempt to provide valuable information about Bipolar Disorder.
On Friday we had our first school meeting for Jordan and what a difference it was. It was such a wonderful change to have an educational team that was prepared to educate my child no matter what. I will keep you posted as to the progress with the school.

New Beginnings

At times we all need a new start. Some of us are lucky or brave enough to be able to make one. Perhaps it was just mania and not divine inspiration, but I have made a new start. After three years in the frozen land of Northern Indiana I have packed up and moved to Texas. I have brought my boys here to make a new start away from the schools of narrow thinking. It felt like the right thing to do. We are starting over in Grapevine, Texas. It is a good sized city between Dallas and Fort Worth. It has some of the best rated schools in the nation. I realize that there are good and bad teachers everywhere, but at least here they are familiar with what it takes to provide a "free appropriate public education." They were dumbfounded that my son had never been aided by a school psychologist in Indiana, I guess that is because the school didn't have one. There are going to be a lot of changes for us, and I am sure that they won't all be easy, but I will do everything in my power to make the lives of my boys better. I will miss the DBSA of Indiana and the wonderful people I left behind, but I know they are all wishing us well and believe in the changes I have made. I will continue to update the blog and to provide new information as it comes to me. Thank you all for reading and for your comments. I will do my best to provide some new content.
