[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 247078"] I've tried to get her to sleep in my room, but she won't. I've even tried to get her to just lie down with me a bit while we talk so she can settle. She'll sit on the bed, but that's it. But, she doesn't go to sleep, for the most part, unless I'm awake. She isn't on any medications right now. She had been on lexapro, but she said it wasn't working and refused anything else. This was months ago. She is extremely against medications and I talked to R about that and R said she would help me with that with difficult child when/if the psychiatrist prescribes anything. I think difficult child will be more open to R's opinion/suggestions than to mine - or anyone else. The only time she'll let me physically comfort her is when she is very distressed and sobbing. And she only lets me do that - rub her back, stroke her hair - for a short time. She doesn't want to be hugged or even sit next to me and put her head on my shoulder so I can hold her. [/QUOTE]
