[QUOTE="FinnishPrincess, post: 42830, member: 3739"] You said nothing happened when Ashleigh took Prozac. Do you remember what dose and how long she was on it? Did her behavior worsen or just stay the same? I don't remember the exact dosage that she was on, but it was the minimal dosage that they were starting her on. I don't know exactly - my memory doesn't serve me well at times. My apologies! She pretty much stayed the same. She was on it for a few months (maybe 2-3mos) Do you know what kind of health professional the therapist is? Will the therapist be able to refer you to a child psychiatrist? To be honest with you, I don't know. I could probably inquire about her credentials - but I'm sure if it is necessary they would refer us to another professional. I'm also concerned about Darrian's well being as well. Darrian is reacting to Ashleigh in very physical means at times. I almost look at it very Darwinian (survival of the fittest). Darrian is also a very sensitive child and really is starting to resent Ashleigh because of the way she treats her. She does not like the fact that Ashleigh tries to steal her friends out from under her and it seems as though at times friendship becomes quite problematic because it becomes a war between the two girls. (Who gets who?) I understand that both girls have very specific needs and I'm trying to address them both - but no matter how much I try to show them that they're both very unique individuals and let them know why I do the things I do, Ashleigh doesn't care (or just doesn't understand) but Ashleigh feels like it's a favoritism thing and it's not! She evaluates things to her liking, no matter how accurate it is. Darrian hates her sister at this point. I keep trying to tell Ashleigh to be nice to her sister because it's the only sister that she'll have... but it doesn't matter. I try to keep my sanity. We are getting state assistance for the insurance. We qualify for it. Thankfully. So I'm hoping we'll get all the necessary stuff to start this process (all the income verification, birth certificates, etc.... ) so we can all begin our process. There is much work that has yet to be done and it'll all be worth it. Regardless of the turn out. [/QUOTE]
