[QUOTE="nvts, post: 76787, member: 3814"] Hi! Heather, sometimes one of the best "therapies" for filling a "something missing" in someone, is to let them see, really see what it is to help someone. Your "bio" on difficult child says that she loves animals. Why not let her volunteer at an animal shelter or local zoo, or even help out the local vet. Sometimes people have so much love to give, they don't "get it" when they don't sense that volume coming back <u>[b]exclusively[/b]</u> to them. Since animals frequently give unconditional love (which most humans are incapable of giving) she may be able to fill that niche volunteering. Also, since she's only 12, you'd have to do drop off and pick up, it would allow for some unstressed alone time with her. Conversations could be limited to " was the cat you were helping with feeling any better" or "I used to have a dog like that when I was a kid". There wouldn't be any judgements, meltdowns, but there would be plenty of room for praise. Just a thought! Beth [img]:flower:[/img] [/QUOTE]
