[QUOTE="droesch, post: 599808, member: 16533"] Family background: no siblings living at home (brother age 26 uninvolved); father out of town for first 5 years of life, no extended family involvement, she sees paternal gp's on holidays - they are too busy with other grandchildren. I will admit there is inconsistent discipline - i give in out due to just being plain worn out - husband yells. We have no friends to do social activities with. Neighbors have families and most of the friends I have their children are grown. Maternal grandparents are both ill in nursing facility (stroke/alzheimer's). Marriage is not great - husband is around but detached emotionally. I am suffering from mild depression due to this situation as well as stress of parents illness'. Diagnosies: with mild ADD and ODD several years ago by psychologist. We tried medications but she wouldn't take them - said they gave her a headache. Behaviors: Excessive arguing, will not go to camps, etc. unless she is with someone she knows well (friend), difficulty in new situations, does very well in school - very bright. Not affectionate at all. Didn't like to be held much as a baby - extremely active, into everything. Would cry and get angry at age 2 if I went home from store a different way LOL. Very rigid. Rushes through homework although does well in school. Unable to occupy herself well; although she spends too much time alone in the summer. Sorry for being so vague. I appreciate your response and hope to hear back from you. Thank you! :fingerscrossed: [/QUOTE]
