[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 399490"] That's my kid right there as well. We're going to be doing genetic tests and we got an appointment with a neuropsychologist. Mine also has a father that stepped out when she was young and doesn't bother much with her in any way. When he does call her, it just stirs up her "Why am I not good enough?" issues which of course adds to her anger, anxiety, and frustrations, leading to more frequent and violent meltdowns. She feels she should be "perfect" and therefore feels that everyone expects her to be perfect, and that when she isn't perfect that everyone thinks she's stupid. Which again adds to the whole meltdown thing. It's been up and down with her for years, and adding in more complex social expectations from adults and peers as she gets older hasn't helped. No problem with any kid is too minor to concern a parent. I sometimes feel the same way, that so many here have kids with problems much worse than mine, and I'm pretty sure a lot of times it's true. Of course, mine is still young, and we have a long road to go, and she may get better or worse. But she is certainly not within the "normal spectrum" in many areas, so even if I feel our particular case is insignificant by comparison, I can offer support, my experience with my own life and kiddo's, and know that there are people here who "get it" that my parenting methods have to be different from those that are considered "normal". And there are some really good recipes floating around, too. ;) [/QUOTE]
