[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 717765, member: 21895"] Welcome. I agree with all of the above. First and formost. Family therapy for the other kids and parents. It is so important. We all live in our psyche that is ourbintutive sense. And your GD wi sense that the other siblings fear her. Therapy for yourself to lean how to manage as this is suck. Stressful situation. In my books and I am no psychiatrist ODD is a pretty low catch bucket for the behaviour she is displaying. At least Conduct Disorder with traits towards Antisocial Personality Disoorder, and underlying psychiatric issues need to be assessed. When you say they tried her on medications and they didn't work, I wonder what medications they tried and for what purpose. As there are no medication for social disorders such as ODD and CD; as GM you may well not know. More importantly she is indeed a harm to herself; and not yet others. I do hope they are able to unravel this mystery. My son 17 has CD and is an addict. Pot, pills of any sort and alcohol. He has had some wild psychotic breaks. I will tell you I was certain there is also an underlying psychosis. There may or may not be but until we get him off the drugs there will be no way to know. My niece is BiPolar and my mother was certainly depressed and untreated she was a hoarder. But you shake anyone's closet and a skeleton or two are bound to fall out. I agree with SWOT. Love can not conquer all. You and your son and his wife should be commended for loving caring and adopting this beautiful child. Nothing you did was wrong and more importantly 110% right. Love just doesn't always fix everything. Keep posting and I hope as she progresses through puberty and care they get a handle on what is happening and find a successful treatment plan. Big hugs.
