My sister just called tonight. She is upset. My niece, as some of you know, may have to have surgery to correct her scoliosis. She would need two rods in her back just like her Mom (my sister) had to have. The curves are just different. Anyway, my sister said my niece is in such a deep depression. She is saying she wishes she had never been born because of this possible surgery. This breaks my heart as I'm sure it does 10x over for my sis. O.k. Here I go questioning things. My niece isn't coming out of this depression. Can something bad trigger the down side of bipolar or am I reading to much into this? I remember as a teen saying "I wish I never was born" when I didn't get my way but my niece is just 12. What do you guys think? Anytime a kid talks about wishing they did not exist, it scares the cr*p out of me. JJ, Did you find out yet whether your niece will need the surgery?
