[QUOTE="ABS, post: 503101, member: 13718"] My replies are being blocked and have to be approved. Not sure if this one will get through but didn't want yall to think I wasn't reading and responding to your wonderful comments. Hopefully they get approved soon :) EDIT: It made it through! But I guess my other comments from last night are still in a queue somewhere. I won't try and retype everything I said last night but the shorten version is: History of mental illness: Yes, father has anxiety and impulse control issues that he's just recently been diagnosed with when we started this journey with our daughter. Biological mom has substance abuse issues though we don't know anything beyond that. Fraternal grandmother is bipolar and also has substance abuse issue. Biological mom DID use drugs/smoke during pregnancy though the full extent isn't known. Daughter hasn't shown any physical issues from it but we really don't know what damage it caused mentally. IEP/Expulsion: The team doing the IEP and the people threatening expulsion don't communicate. We're bringing both groups as well as others together on the 14th so that one hand knows what the other hand is doing. Attachment issues: To be honest I really have no idea and it hasn't been brought up by any of the mental health professionals that we've been working with. Her mother began leaving for days at a time shortly after my daughter's birth. My husband was there taking care of her from the beginning. We don't hide details about her biological mom but we also do not talk negatively about her. She knows the full situation and has been told that if she wishes to seek her out then I will help her find her, once she's of age. She states she doesn't ever want to see her and doesn't talk about her. I'm sure she does wonder why her mom would leave (especially since we found out last year that she's went on to have more children once she was released from prison) but she acts like she doesn't care. Signature: I wasn't sure what to put (all these abbreviations are confusing) but I did add one. Sister: She gets along great with her sister and often states she "hates everything in this world except her sister". She does have issues sharing attention because she was an only child for so long but we try and curb that with special days devoted completely to her. Sensory issues: We have brought this up but were told that it's related to the ADHD and that classic sensory disorders exhibit their symptoms far earlier. She just started having issues with repetitive sights/noises this summer. Hoping to be able to see a neuropsychologist to get a better idea of what it is truly going on. I think that addressed the major questions but wanted to add that you ladies/gentlemen have given me more hope in the past twenty-four hours then I've had in a year.
