[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 559702, member: 15473"] We have not seen a neuropsychologist. Both children were diagnosis'd years ago around age 6 for each. The older one has refused treatment for years and when forced has refused to participate actively. The youngest has been on and off medication for ADD for a long time but has recently begun treatment for anxiety. Being military we move every 3 years or so which has made normal friendships difficult for all of us. The oldest is very attached to her grandfather and a friend she had in 6th grade who she is still in contact with. Other than that she does not have many friends and does not like people coming over to the house. She tends to fall head over heals for guys and twist herself around to meet their expectations. This has happened on multiple occasions since 7th grade and includes an abusive guy, a uber christian, and the current guy. Since meeting the current guy she has started self harming by attempting to choke herself with a cord and relieve her pain. She says she has no intention of killing herself she just want to relieve her pain. Pain from what we don't know but she constantly feels overwhelmed by her life of cheerleading and doing minimal chores like dishes and her own laundry. She has always been difficult. Even simple tasks like homework could end in head banging meltdowns when she was younger. Now she manages most things on her own but when she has to ask me for approval for her actions it all goes down hill when the answer is no. The youngest was difficult as a child. Poor eater, poor sleeper, difficult pregnancy, hyper, and just plain difficult to manage. However now she is easy except when she gets hyper which mostly consists of her mouth running non stop. She makes friends pretty easily but tends to gravitate towards the odd kids. I swear she can find the only nearly homeless kid in the classroom and adopt them. LOL She is very sensitive and wants to help everyone. She likes to be hugged and loved on constantly and would prefer to sleep with me every night of the week. She is not a mouthy child or a fighter but she is very needy. She is sensitive to noises but mostly to things like dogs barking constantly and or yelling/fighting. She still has problems with eating well, sleeping, and controlling her hyper activity. [/QUOTE]
