[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 128017, member: 1550"] Hi there. Although I know your child is disrupting your house, in my opinion it's not her fault. ODD is rarely a stand alone diagnosis. Her suicide threats could be early onset bipolar or from her abuse. The abuse issues don't stop just because the abuse stopped. in my opinion it's dangerous not to have this child in therapy and she needs to see a Psychiatrist. There has to be a mental health center run by the county--they are usually "as you can afford." Early sexuality is both a symptom of childhood mania and behavior for a child who has been molested. I have kids who have been molested and they had INTENSIVE intervention (a child we adopted molested them).The county paid for most of it. They still do when needed. Also, I work in a home for abuse victims--many were abused. You can't sweep that issue under the rug nor expect a child sexually who has experienced such a violation, and is not getting help for it, to be a normal kid. My oldest daughter turned to drugs when she was twelve. She'd been assaulted at age eight, but hadn't told us. Our home doesn't charge our clients anything--it is funded by taxes and contributions. I think the question is more "how can I help her" than should I give her up. She has been through A LOT (her father doesn't help). But she's one kid crying out for help and it's coming out as defiance. in my opinion I would get started looking for resources that are not expensive. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
