[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 402466, member: 1631"] ML-Thanks for your support and you're right I don't get much peace (except at work:)). SW-She hasn't seen her therapist since Oct. or Nov. However, I did make 3 appts for her the other day. Unfortunately, the first one isn't until the 28th of February. We're fine with her taking some time off before starting school. We've told her this but have also said then she needs to find a job and be working. She is so good at avoidance that if she could she would love nothing better than to stay home and hide away. Flutter and Susie-I just updated my signature. She's been off the Zoloft completely for quite awhile. It could be the Welbutrin? Jena-Just updated my signature. She is 17 and will be 18 in July. We have had her in therapy for dealing with difficult child since she was 11. Unfortunately, it has never seemed to help much but she likes the therapist and won't consider anyone else. She vocally expresses her anger/hatred for difficult child. She believes all of her anger and problems are due to him. Actually, I wouldn't be at all opposed to her being involved in a group therapy but don't think I could get her to go along with it. She is so different from other teens I know. She sleeps so much (always has since she was super tiny) that even though she always has I think some of it is avoidance. The anger at her difficult child brother is incredibly strong. She really is unable to show any empathy for him and not much in general for anyone else. She is very passive aggressive. One thing that makes me so sad is how little she seems to smile and ever just relax. She does have an incredible sense of humor-a strong trait if you are a member of husband's family:). She has a ton of anxiety and has openly expressed she is not ready to "grow up". She is somewhere on the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) spectrum as well but I'm not really sure how much. She does not easily open up to anyone; has built a huge wall around herself. She and I have talked about this on the rare occasion that she did open up and she admits she does have a huge wall built up. Sorry I seem to be rambling now. I'm very concerned and feeling so unable to help. It doesn't help that difficult child is openly terrified of her:( [/QUOTE]
