[QUOTE="mevmom, post: 712865, member: 21856"] Thank you. Right now she is homeschooled. Next year she will go to part time private school. That's why we've never had an school evaluations done. I'm meeting a friend tomorrow to pick her brain- she works with difficult kids and Special Education at a school nearby. I don't know if my husband will agree to have her evaluated. Because it's such a roller coaster it's like it'll get so bad and I'll think we need help! But just when I'm on the brink of getting it, things will calm down a bit. Lots of mind games all the time- I always wonder if she's just challenging or if it's more than that. And even if it is more than that, do I want to go down the route of medications and all that? I know my husband is afraid that labelling her will make it worse. She already thinks she's "the bad one" and he thinks a diagnosis might cement her notion that something is wrong with her. Also my husband is self employed and we don't have insurance. We are part of a bill sharing co-op but it doesn't do mental health stuff. I need to figure out what options we have for paying for all this. [/QUOTE]
