[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 439988, member: 1550"] Hi. in my opinion she needs to have a total evaluation. She could very well have fetal alcohol effects if her birthmother drank during her pregnancy and her birthfather may have passed along some hereditary psychiatric issues (or both). You can not help her alone (as proven by where she is now). Her teen years are coming and they are difficult even for the best behaved child. For a difficult child, drugs and cutting and criminal behavior are real possibilities. If this were me, even without hub's support, I'd take her to a neuropsychologist and for a genetics test to see if she has fetal alcohol syndrome, which is EXTREMELY difficult to reign in...you need specific help from people who understand this devastating disorder. Doing nothing but what you are doing now in my opinion is a recipe for disaster. in my opinion she is beyond just needing a counselor. Something bigger is going on when the child can no longer go to school and is violent. Hugs and keep us posted. I adopted four kids myself, one who was exposed to drugs/alcohol in utero. Please get your child professional assessments and help. [/QUOTE]
