[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637427, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm so sorry you had to come here, but welcome. Can you tell us a little more about her behavior? How does s he do in school? How was she in infancy? Any psychiatric issues on either side of her DNA, father included, even if she has never seen him? Genetics can be huge. Did she have a lot of chaos and/or caregiver changes in her early years? Any abuse maybe from her father or a boyfriend of yours...any possibility? Is she sexual at all? Maybe trying drugs (my daughter started smoking pot at 12). Has she ever been evaluated by anybody? I don't mean to criticize you, but it probably isn't helpful to threaten to put her into foster care. There are better options. Do you make too much money for Medicaid? Medicaid, believe it or not, is accepted at most university hospital clinics, and they are terrific resources for help. Also, there are free/sliding scale mental health clinics in almost every county in the country. Schools also can test and it's free. I'm not a big fan of school testing...I don't think it's very good...but it IS available. You can get counseling at the clinics too and sounds like you've had a hard time and could use some validation and face time advice. [/QUOTE]
