[QUOTE="Steely, post: 460984, member: 3301"] I am definitely sending prayers - What she has been through is [I][B][U]really[/U][/B][/I] tough for a kid to deal with - without acting out. Especially when drugs start to take away the horrible trauma she has experienced - then she probably feels - why go back to reality? The acting out sexually is part of her compulsive need to heal the trauma - and again there is nothing you can do until she wants help. It is very common in sexual abuse victims - they have a need to reenact the sexual experience in hopes that this time they will feel love, and acceptance - instead of demoralized and hated. Yet they always pick the toughest men, the hardest puzzles to solve so to speak - and end up getting used and hurt over and over again. The pattern just repeats and repeats until more and more damage is done. The good news about this - is that I believe she will want the help at some point. The pain she is dealing with is so deep - at some point - it will be inescapable and she will seek help. She is smart, educated, and loved - she will turn the road soon and want help. If she gets her GED, I think that is actually a good thing in this situation. It is not the stigma it used to be - it is really what she does after that. Does she get a job, or go onto community college? If she gets her GED then her life will take more of an adult turn, and she will grow up a bit, and start realizing things that only life can teach her. in my opinion the psychiatrist is right about the Topomax - Matt was on it - and he literally forgot how to add. It was pathetic how it dulled his cognitive reasoning - however there are many other mood stabs to try if she would take them. I truly believe she will work through this - her abuse was severe - she is going to have to process this in her own way and in her own time - but she will get it. *HUGS* in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
