[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 382235, member: 3493"] Jena - I am sorry if I didn't state myself clearly. I was saying that I thought the way you handled the nurse was great. I know that you didn't confront her in front of your daughter but you did state your case and put them on notice that an attitude like hers was not going to be tolerated. As for the ODD issues, I apologize because I thought that you had mentioned somewhere in the past that she has ODD issues. I still think that ODD or not, she is trying to manipulate the situation (and even typical teen's do this - it's the age, the puberty and in her case, the anxiety of being away from her comfort zone that may be propelling it rather than ODD). Her manipulations may not even be on a conscious level. This might not be the right program for her or it could just be taking time for it to work. I am not sure if taking her out after less than a week would be productive for her, you or the rest of the family but, of course, I am not in your shoes and am not seeing the totality of what is going on at the facility. As for the anxiety and the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), have they revisited the issue of medications to tide her over until the program kicks in? If she's so ridden with anxiety that she'd rather sit for 5 hours than eat a meal, it could be that she is just not capable of it and she needs a medication to calm her down and let her eat. I do feel for you and really hope that your daughter is doing better today. [/QUOTE]
