[QUOTE="HollySunshine, post: 703273, member: 21075"] We know S has a long history of abuse, neglect, and trauma. The lady from DCFS told us that the case file on her and her siblings is thick. She called it chronic neglect. I nearly wept in front of her. Her mother taught her to shoplift when she was a wee thing. She also got drunk around her often, and her boyfriend was physically and mentally abusive in ways we're just starting to really understand. As well, S still wets the bed with regularity. She has no physiological reason to do so. She's seen renal specialists, even. This is psychological. It could be related to early sexual abuse. But we don't know what is and what isn't real because S won't talk bad about her mother or confide in us the truth. After googling, I found a couple of possible agencies that might be able to offer next-level help or a way into the WISe program that can't be offered by the therapy agency we use currently. The unfortunate thing is that we live in a very under-funded county in Washington. While the overall state of medicaid here is good, it's done per county. And what's offered here is paltry, as opposed to just over the county line where there is more funding and nonprofit support to back up the medicaid offering. We have Catholic Community Services here. I might contact them as well. As far as medical marijuana, I'm a user. And the high-CBD strain you're referring to is one we'd consider but only after we've exhausted other options. The psychiatrist has already reached the place of considering lithium. We've taken her to a naturopath and done nutritional testing. We're doing elimination diets. We're trying everything we can at this point. Please and thank you. Keep throwing stuff at us. We're so thankful for support. [/QUOTE]
