Confused ... is this a sign of danger or attention-seeking?

[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 537201, member: 9175"] Keista, You're right. The attenioni seeking (and it is getting worse and worse) IS very scary. I honestly don't know how to address it. In the real world, populated by people who think difficult child stands for Guilt Free Gluttony ... or something like that, you sound like a complete lunatic in describing the crazy-happy difficult child, or the difficult child who isn't cutting. That's why I need you guys! MWM, I hear you loud and clear about your daughter's friend. It does scare me. It has always scared me. She's never posted/written anything quite like that ..and I'm not sure at what point to be concerned about what she's saying. Know what I mean?? As to the cutting, she doesn't cut. She told a boy in HS that she carved "Runaway" on her arm. He told his mom who told me. Her arm was spotless, but she insisted she'd done it and it healed. I called BS and the next day (my birthday), she made some very light scratches on her arm. I mean, she didn't even draw blood. Then she told her voice teacher (in front of her five year old) that she was cutting and she was on suicide watch. When I talked to her about what she said, she insisted her voice teacher "heard her worng". I don't wat to ignore something serious, nor do I want to feed the attention monster. Of course, I'm keeping an eye on her (glad she is living here). Ugh. Dash Also, there's a pattern with new boyfriends. She's always struggiling with something and then they move heaven and earth to comfort her. Can't tell if this is directed toward the new guy, J, or not. Double Ugh. [/QUOTE]
