[QUOTE="ksm, post: 472533, member: 12511"] The paper work said not to bring the child to this appointment. I have a big list of things to take to the office, though. I think that after the initial consult, if they feel it is a problem they can help with, they will try to get health insurance to then OK further testing. Good luck. They have refused testing when the therapist tried to arrange it. difficult child does not have the facial features of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) - but has always been what I called "high strung". She would be the first one to get upset and the last one to calm down. Wants her own way. Can't take "no" for an answer. Feels like if she talks long(and loud!) enough she can change our mind. Honest... she will say "If you will just listen to me then you will understand..." And we do let her have her say - and usually the answer is still a no. We try to explain and repeat back what she said, and why it is still a no... but it is futile to let her keep talking. Once, we gave difficult child and little sis a time out so they could work out a compromise... and after an hour, difficult child states..." this is never going to work! I keep trying to compromise, and she still won't do it my way!" Lately her biggest arguments revolve around It's Not Fair!! And... Why Do You Hate Me??? I know that alot of this involves her biomom not doing the work to get custody back. The fact that drugs came first and kids second (or third). Biomom has been a real flake and even though we tried to allow her to keep in touch with the girls (based on what therapist thought would be best) she hasn't followed thru. At this point, we get a phone call about every 3 months from her. And the girls aren't really interested in talking to her any more. Even when she lived close by - she couldn't manage to show up to visit them. difficult child thinks we hate her because she is not our biograndchild. She doesn't know who her biodad is... and neither does biomom. My son, the only father she knows - is still in her life and is consistent. But she never acts this way around him. KSM [/QUOTE]
