[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 207533, member: 1550"] Okie, I have some questions. First of all, you may want to do a signature below, like I did. 1/Are there are psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of your child's genetic family tree (yours and biological father). In particular, any mood problems? Drinking or substance abuse is usually linked to mood disorders. These are inherited disorders that need treatment. 2/You say your child is in a program for developmentally delayed children. I would have the child evaluated by a neuropsychologist ASAP. She could be on the high functioning autism spectrum (sounds a lot like it) and, if so, she needs interventions badly and probably will not be able to behave better until she is better understood. How is her speech, her eye contact with strangers, her ability to interact with peers, her reaction to loud noise, textures, new foods; can she make transitions without melting down? Does she play with toys the right way? Is she sometimes "out of it?" Does she seem not to hear you at times because she is in her own world? Does she make strange noises or flap her arms or have odd behaviors or obsessions? Does she like to cuddle? I would seriously check out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). You can not make her act lovable toward your SO. Many kids don't like anyone taking the place of Daddy, even if Daddy wasn't a good Daddy. I would go very slow with that and hopefully your fiance understands and doesn't get angry at her. It is good that you're in family counseling, however that won't help you find out what is wrong with your child. You need an intensive evaluation for that--I recommend one that is done privately, not just from school. School evaluations tend to not be very good...welcome to thte board! Others will come along.
