[QUOTE="Steely, post: 166836, member: 3301"] Sending many, many hugs, and strength your way. I have been been there done that not only with difficult child, but myself. It is so scary. Where to turn, what to do, how to get help when you feel that depressed. It is horrible. Many times in my life, I would rather have broken an arm than feel that utterly depressed. It is a horrible, tragic affliction. As far as therapy, who knows. My difficult child has always resisted therapy. I have literally dragged him there for the last time. We cannot shove help down these kids throats. I pray somehow, someone comes into his life and changes his world forever with their help, but for now, I can only hope - not force it. Not to mention the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) part of this. There is little research proving that talk therapy helps kids with these types of disorders. I know my kid can talk his way out of a paper bag, and yet still not know how to get out. It seems there has to be a different more innovative therapy that would help these NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) kids connect the verbal brain to their action brain. None the less. I am so sorry. You are an awesome Mom, who always finds the best solutions for your children, and you will find one for this too. Right now it is just not immediate. Could any of her depression also be that her bro is gone, and school is out? [/QUOTE]
