[QUOTE="nvts, post: 449589, member: 3814"] One thing that may be missing in her diagnosis is PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Quite a bit of her acting out seems to be after the betrayal and sexual assualt. Her anxiety and depression and self-mutilation could be directly as a result of that situation. There are medications out there that work for cutters and those that are a danger to themselves. Honestly, the child seems to be crying out. There has to be a lot of pain here for her to be running this course. And on that note Mom - you really seem to be in touch with her - beautiful job! If she continues on this path, a Residential Treatment Facility may be in order - if she ends up in the hospital, I would highly recommend that you consider speaking to them and hearing what they have to say. You retain custody, you get to go and visit them before the decision is made, and you remain the primary force in their lives. She's self-medicating with the pot and alcohol...something is truly bothering this child and a more restrictive environment may be the way to figure it out. Welcome to the crowd - it's a fantastic group of people with a lot of experience and very strong shoulders! Beth [/QUOTE]
