[QUOTE="Alttlgabby, post: 270332, member: 6786"] Thanks! Yes, I do need to keep a very detailed journal to see if there is a pattern here because so far, I am not seeing it. When the psychiatric did her evaluation, the one thing that our therapist was surprised not to see on it was "depression" due to some of the signs she has. She will sleep for 15 hours if we let her. She also likes to be alone a lot and tends to be withdrawn at times, although this is getting much better! Other than having to actually MOVE them one more time, I am not sorry about the move itself. We lived in San Antonio years ago and loved it. It is much more family geared than Las Vegas and I think the girls will love it there. Another thing is that their BM was living in NE and then had to move to AZ (only 1 hr and 20 mins from us!) to get their brother, who used to live with us (LONG story). She has not TRIED on her own to contact them since December 24th, or to come see them (thank goodness!). difficult child 2 did talk to BM about two weekends ago through her sister putting them all on speaker, and I found out, so her cell phone is gone permanently. It wasn't due to the fact that she talked to BM, but due to the fact that she lied to me about who she was talking to and it wasn't fair that she get to talk and her sister didn't! ALL calls with BM are to be on MY cell phone so that I can monitor behaviors afterwards (meltdowns, anger, etc). I hate the phone calls because BM calls and confuses them, promises them stuff she never comes through on, etc..
