[QUOTE="lovingmum96, post: 363792"] thank you, Susie and Sheila. I appreciate your kind words and support so much. thank you for saying that you believe in me, because yes, I do doubt that, since somehow I think I should've been able to *do* something. I've been trying to get her some help for a while but I feel as though I let it slide because I could try harder and fix it myself. Apparently, with the onset of adolescence, it's worse. Certainly I wouldn't mind being evaluated. Lol, at school (administrator) I'm known for not being easily rattled (!) while difficult child can get me to migraine in minutes. So the home stress is the thing. Tons of kids is a piece of cake, lol. Sigh. She's had a good week. I've told her lightly that I will pick her up tomorrow and she's asking to go with friends instead. I'll try to arrange for her to go after since that centers her. I really hope that she cooperates -- If only I could mentally detach myself from the situation, just for one day, I could see difficult child's behaviors as just that, instead of well, my failures. It's strange how we may be able to see that so clearly for/in others, but not for ourselves. thanks again. Your kindness has lifted my heavy heart -- [/QUOTE]
