[QUOTE="kwioake, post: 497025, member: 13579"] Try to answer some questions... My daughter has been diagnosed at various times with: ADHD, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), ODD, intermittant explosive disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), depression, PTSD. bipolar disorder and possible schizophrenia. She is currently on: Focalin, Intuniv, Prozac, Valproic Acid... She has seen multiple therapists, psychiatrists, play therapists, tried equine therapy. She always been super resistant to talking about anything. The situation is very complicated. The neighbors had kind of taken my daughter on as their personal cause (were literally starting a non-profit to help raise money for orphans from her country). They had taken her to their family reunion. She had spent way more time at their house than ours over the course of the last year. So...they are very skeptical about therapy for their daughter---scared that a therapist would make things worse. This was all discovered by us. The little girl had spent the night and my daughter was on her IPOD touch seeking out strange men to chat with. I just had one of those weird gut feelings that something wasn't right. I told my daughter that we knew what had happened and she admitted some things. We went and talked to the parents and they talked to their daughter. The two girls stories aren't exactly the same but enough so that there is no question that molestation took place. One of the other girls that my daughter admitted to "playing the game with" is also a friend so I talked to her. My daughter lost her primary language within a month of moving here, which leads me to think even more that the abuse was significant. She has from day one resisted any kind of attachment to me...refuses to let me touch her and has gotten where she won't receive anything from me---even an ice cream cone, a shopping trip...she doesn't let me do anything positive for her. This is why the idea of her having me as her primary caretaker seems pretty impossible...She has more of a mixed attachment with my husband but still not very affectionate, super oppositional (asks for things than doesn't want them) and very deceptive. basic things like brushing her teeth, taking showers are daily battles so to add this whole layer on is beyond overwhelming... We are heartbroken because we knew adoption wouldn't be easy but feel horrible that other children were hurt in the process. It is very disillusioning that none of these kids told nor are the police getting involved... [/QUOTE]
