[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 367284, member: 7083"] No one knows, but I think she stopped developing in some ways at 5 and I think she regressed some, as well. therapist seems to think that she turns some of it on and off at will to manipulate, and I agree with that to a degree. She also hesitantly mentioned attachment disorder. I think it's something she's tossing around in her mind, because she thinks that difficult child didn't bond with me like she should have - because her needs were (and are) so great that it is simply impossible to fulfill them. I don't know about that. difficult child definitely bonded with me. This impossible to fulfill need is a classic trait of borderline. In home therapist, caseworkers, difficult child, and I are meeting on the 15th to have a "Come to Jesus meeting" with difficult child, as well as to brainstorm. They also want to find someone to work with her one on one out in the community and they want me to write up a description of difficult child so they can find someone who wants to do the job (because she frustrates everyone to no end) and they will interview them. I jokingly said, "A 15 year old pain in the [donkey], who is stubborn, obstinate and her own worst enemy". They said, yes send them that kind of stuff because it is accurate and they will turn it into better wording. haha :faint: [/QUOTE]
