[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 88107, member: 393"] I am one who has her very young difficult child on hormones (note I say hormones, not birth control). kt has been on hormones since she was 12 & will remain on same as long as she is medication compliant. I'm worried over her lack of self esteem & impulse control. I'm more worried over her being re-victimized as in common in young women with kt's hx. Having said that, I explained diddly to kt. She wasn't a part of the decision. It was between her father, myself, psychiatrist, therapist, pediatrician & ob/gyn who specializes in very young women who have suffered sexual abuse. We are all in agreement that the term "hormones" will be used around kt. When kt is of an emotional age, with a better control on her impulsivity, etc I may just sit her down & explain this medication. Or she may find out on her own at some point. So far, she has not connected the dots....her team has backed us up on this. When she asked about the hormones, our reply was that it would help regulate her cycle & make her less crampy. And it has. That's my experience. by the way, we have also started those cancer vaccines - cannot for the life of me remember the name of it. I will protect kt as much as I can as long as I can. I would rather not have to go this route so young & I know it's the right thing to do for kt. [/QUOTE]
