[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 506991, member: 6546"] The docs have been "saying it" for years because difficult child did the classic Borderline behaviors (cutting and acting out sexually) but did not want to "offically" diagnose a personality disorder due to her age. So nothing was in writing other than ODD and Depression. Just this year (age 16), 'Personality Disorder not otherwise specified' was finally, officially added to her chart. difficult child is capable of being a great student, but she usually doesn't "feel like it"....PLUS she does not seem to understand that HER efforts determine her grades. Grades are always blamed on the teacher (I'm failing 'cause the teacher is mean....the teacher hates me....the teacher doesn't teach right....the teacher lost my project...etc). As far as treating it? Mostly we been looking at it as "surviving it" rather than "treating it". We know we cannot trust anything difficult child says - so we've learned to do a lot of double-checking and verifying the facts. We've learned that if we give an inch - she'll take a mile...so we try not to give that inch. That sort of thing... [/QUOTE]
