[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 348475"] I'm so sorry. Our difficult child is also adopted. This has got to be frustrating. It would be ideal if you could get her to a psychiatrist for an evaluation. And I agree with Suz, best to avoid sharing previous diagnosis's. They can be influential. Sadly, her age (18) limits your influence both developmentally and legally. You should do your best to formulate a working alliance with her father and see if he would agree that she needs to see a doctor. Therapy would also be a good idea...you might also consider family therapy. Being adopted and having her family go through a divorce has got to be profoundly difficult. If this continues to be very stressful and causes you great strife, don't hesitate to get therapy for yourself. It probably sounds a little weird, but the truth is that this is a very stressful situation and you will very likely need the support. [/QUOTE]
