[QUOTE="ConfusedinMD, post: 497232, member: 13582"] She is 16 and has had problems in school since she started, but we didn't think it was really out of the ordinary until middle school. She was not doing her work, not studying and being disruptive. At home for the most part she is fine. She is has been fresh mouthed by not disrespectful until recently. When I took her to the counselor they told me that they believe that she was depressed and possibly ADD and to bring her back in a few months! That was the last time that we saw that person and because of my insurance haven't been able to find anyone else. I might add that she is my natural child and was adopted by my husband. Where she loves my husband she feels that he has favorites (he does, and the kids as well as I have told him-he's in denial) So she feels a disconnect with him. She told me that she has always felt like she doesn't belong. I don't know what to do to make her "happy". I say that because, she has a roof over her head, food, cell phone, and computer so I know its not things. She is a touchy feely child and I am not and that causes problems between us. I hate to ramble, but I am trying to give you a look into what is going on. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
