[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 707157, member: 1550"] With all respect, this child had a brain injury that took a year to heal. Before Id go nuclear on her, i would make triple sure this is not due to a traumatic brain injury. Sometimes i feel it is best to explore causes, which may not even be psychological, before taking everything away from a minor child who was badly hurt. This is complicated, with no simple solution in my opinion. Brain injuries do change behavior sometimes and bad behavior is sometimes not fixable by that sort of punishing, especially if the child has a neurological glitch or is disabled on some other way. I certainly would not and do not tend to panic in an unusual fashion but further exploration of what this head injury can cause can only help all three of you figure out the problem. in my opinion that is important. Maybe she is trying to do more than she can. Not ypur fault but check it out. I do not know if you have children, Pre, but the only time I'd go that far in deprivition is for drug abuse. Minor children need our help. Eighteen comes too fast, then we can pull the plug if we want to. in my opinion the exception with a minor would be drug abuse and violence. And with that the child may not be allowed to live at home anyway. Therapy only helps if the person lets it help. Even at 16 she cant be forced to work at therapy. Id start with reevaluatong the he4ad injury. Susy, do you live in the U.S? I do know that in certain countries it is harder to get approved to see specialists than here...or second opininions. But I value all professional input. [/QUOTE]
