[QUOTE="MommaK, post: 688230, member: 20354"] Yes, I did that. We would go and sit for an hour or 2 and talk or I would take her to the batting cages if she wanted. At first she enjoyed it, then her moods became chaotic and she began to refuse to go unless it's exactly when she wants. She will ask to go do something when I'm cooking supper or helping the youngest with homework or trying to clean house or even use the bathroom. If I say ok as soon as I finish this we will go she flips a switch and starts yelling and calling me every vile name under the sun or she falls apart into tears telling me I'm never there for her and never try to understand. My daughter is very jealous of my time and has no patience for anyone or anything that takes my time and attention away from her. She has told us she wants 100% of my time and attention. Some back story: I have been raising her since she was 17 months old. Her bio mom pretty much walked away and never looked back when she was 6 months old. My mother in law helped my husband raise her until we got together. Bio mom would appear when she had a new boyfriend/fiance/husband. She has told my daughter many times that I will never want her like I do my son, wrong. My daughter was my first love and my first child. She made me a mommy. I have allowed the horrid things birth mom has told her manipulate me into giving in and spoiling her more than I should, I can't undo the past tho. Bio mom has also told her that no one will want a child like her or ever truly love a child like her. She is not just spoiled and haVing a hard time adjusting to the relite that lif aucks sometimes and we dont alwas get what we want when we want it. She is truly bipolar. She sees what she is doing but is powerless to control it. She keeps a journal of her moods to help her stay aware of them and what triggers the changes. She also has vocal and motor tics and at one time pulled eyelashes and eyebrows out. She has cut in the past as well. She has panic attacks, and anxiety. She is her own worst critic. All of this is ways she has tried to cope on her own before we realized there was more to it all and she needed help. [/QUOTE]
