[QUOTE="mjhawks, post: 650673, member: 18841"] One of the best days in this journey with DQ was when her therapist told me "It's not your fault. You did everything right." I think I teared up. What a relief. As parents to these kids, we always start with ourselves. Asking where we went wrong. What could we do differently. Extended family doesn't help when they only see these kids during the holidays. A couple of days out of the year, does not make you an expert on DQ. Trust that. You have to observe her, in her natural environment, and start to understand that she is manipulating every situation. They accuse you of simply being mean to the child and you almost believe them. My sister-in-law got a taste of DQ over christmas. Taking her for a spa day. DQ lied and said she was getting her eyebrows waxed. When in reality, she got a Brazilian, AT 15!!!! (For the boy she met online who was going to come sneak her out of the house so they could go have sex in the woods.) And Sister-in-law had to pay for it. We are human. We deserve to live in a happy peaceful home. Our other children did nothing to deserve living in this nightmare. The sooner we come to realize this, the easier it is to deal with the problem head on.
