[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 77386, member: 2063"] She has some mild allergies that she complains about. Might go that route. As with all things we parents make the final decision but at this point she gets a good deal of input. She tends to make reasonable decisions. She sees therapy as something she has to do while she is under 18. She was in therapy when much younger and the therapist told me at the time she had evened out and didn't really need much more from her and I agreed as her moodiness at the time balanced out. Flash forward to difficult child stuff and going to family therapy (she was less than thrilled). Then when we found out what difficult child 2 had done to her therapy began for her to be mandatory I tried very hard to let he rknow that it was not a punishment. That she could use the time not just about the victimazation but about her bio dad issues (she has many and he doesn't help the anxiety). Or about trouble with me. Or to work on the social anxiety. ( She wanted to go out for softball the one year and I had to almost shove her out of the car when we got to tryouts the first day she was so wound up). We use the removal of internet occaisionally but then we have a sullen moody teenager. Nothing extreme but ugh. I even went so far as to tell her I was going to get a bunch of bats and decorate her cave to make it the bat cave (she said cool). Not the response I was looking for. We tend to deal so much with the difficult child behaviors it :censored: the life out of me to the point that since she really isn't doing anything wrong I have a hard time getting on her about it. That is not to say she gets away with everything. We just went through the chore battle and we made a switch in chores to see if we will have a different situation. Again nothing major just more annoying than anything. Guess the armour needs to go on so I can attack the situation before it gets bad. Beth [/QUOTE]
