[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 308935, member: 3444"] Sounds like she's had some environmental instability in her short years -- coupled with her genetic load -- that could be contributing to what you see in her. We all do the best we can with what we know. Try to go easier on yourself for the things you cannot control: genetics, choices made in the past, the unknowns of the future, your daughter's feelings, etc. You are already dialed-in to your own issues and are a caring, involved and observant parent. You really can't ask for much more! Teasing out our kids' issues is a process, and usually a long one at that. Hopefully the neuropsychologist spot will open up soon -- you can always call once a week to see if there have been cancellations. I've been known to do that when I'm especially impatient and needing to be seen ASAP. It's helped. It's good for our kids to understand that we are not perfect. That it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. You are wise to keep an open dialog with your kids, especially about the mental health issues in your family. That will only serve to help them as they grow and learn more about their own feelings and issues. They'll realize that it's nothing to be ashamed of, and that it's okay to ask for help when we need it. [/QUOTE]
