[QUOTE="loosinghope2008, post: 142785, member: 4997"] Let me answer a few of these questions, not addressed in my previous post. Her father has some "issues". We are divorced. The marriage was violent and while she was just a toddler, she did lay witness to it. He is himself a compulsive liar and often lives out a fantasy life in real life. He once told my sons school that he would arrange a demonstration from Life Flight and have the helicopter come to the school. This was a total lie as he had no affiliation with them at all. My daughter doesn't have much contact with him, only seeing him when she visits her grandmother. But she is well aware of his on-going behavior. I also have two nieces who have "issues", one of which is an extreme bipolar and who ultimately had two children with special needs I ended up adopting. I should mention that both the boys I adopted, had alot of significant involvement when I adopted them. I spent a huge amount of time and attention with them going to multiple doctors and had at one point nine therapist a week. I know my daughter feels some resentment towards them as they got way more of my attention then she did. She has gotten to the point where she is not kind to them, and we have to make sure she isn't left alone with them, otherwise she'll be mean to them. She was an early developer achieving all milestones early. She a hardworker and very helpful. She has offered to help many in our church and family clean their homes, and says its something she enjoys. In fact, often times she'll make herself a cleaning list on Saturdays and just start cleaning the house. Although she can become a little Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) about it, to the point of cleaning the kitchen floor with a toothpick! I didn't overly mind that, cause I got a nice clean floor out of it and it kept her occupied. Seems that is one of her big issues, when she's bored or has idle time. She has had several psychiatric evaluations. Most recently she was screened for bipolar, but they said she doesn't seem to meet the criteria, although some of her behavior is reminiscent of a bipolar's behavior. I believe the official dianogis they have listed for her is: ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Conduct Disorder. [/QUOTE]
