[QUOTE="Christal22, post: 105947, member: 4422"] Thank you so much for everyone's input.... To answer questions and give more detail, this child is my step daughter. Her mother is bi-polar and has several attempts with sucide so her father has primary custody. She often breaks down (but only to me) about her mother. Her mom will not return her phone calls and when my daughter visits her mother (who moved across the US 6 months ago, however this all started about 2 years ago) her mom pretty much ignores her. My daughter has said that she feels abandoned by her mom and her mom does not love her. She says that I care more about her than her real mom and she has no clue how to deal with that. It breaks my heart... I'm sure the issues with her mom play a great part in her socializing. My guess would be that she is scared of rejection and if she doesnt make an attempt to make friends than she won't have to worry about losing them. Just a guess. She talks to herself about everything just about. One morning she put on an outfit she KNOWS i don't care for. She didn't not know that i was in the other room and could hear her. She was talking outloud and I could hear her say "I'm going to wear this and see if this makes (stepmom) mad". She was not trying to make me mad but wanted to see if she could get a rise out of me for fun. I of course did not play into it. I just told her she looked great. A lot of times she accidently says what she is thinking outloud (things she probably should of kept to herself) and then doesn't realize it. She also has other little quirks like when she gets excited about something she sniffs her hands. I don't ever think I've seen anything like this before. She very different than my own children and I want to be able to understand her better. Thanks to all. [/QUOTE]
