[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 600432, member: 11791"] She sounds more and more like a "spectrum" kid to me... Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Aspie. In which case - you aren't doing anything wrong, and you did NOT cause her to be this way. Is her dad a bit unsocial too? Any chance Aspie traits run in his family? (genetics isn't the only factor in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie, but it is a factor) Is there an Autism society near you? They often have social skills classes etc. Here... you can't get in without a formal diagnosis, other places you can. If she IS an Aspie? She needs a LOT more structure. Because she hasn't had that at home, it will take time to build it. Aspie's don't handle major change well - they need step-wise change. Is there anything around the house that she is good enough at to become "really" good at? Like... could she be in charge of making breakfast? packing lunch for dad (assuming he takes one...)? baking? dusting? dishes (even just loading/unloading dishwasher)? Does she have a particular "interest" - the kind that she drives everybody else nuts with? [/QUOTE]
