[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 456996, member: 12725"] difficult child 2 has been on medications, which didn't help. They actually made other problems, due to side effects. We have been to some goof ball doctors and some really good doctors, each one more expensive than the other. I had to take difficult child 1 for a psychiatric evaluation last spring, bc she used suicide as a way to manipulate some people. We told the school she does this all the time; they called CPS. :-/ The psychiatric we took her to was one we took difficult child 2 to in the past. We took her there bc he was the one who explained the potential future she may face, and didn't just machine gun us with pills. I respected him for that. We learned from hauling them around from doctor to doctor, their behavior will change when they want it to change. It isn't an issue to them. Last spring, the doctor said he would suggest therapy for difficult child 1, but it wouldn't stick bc she doesn't see the need to change. He said should she show any signs to start her in group therapy. He advised me not to take her now, bc she will just learn the wrong things. If I believed therapy, medications, a special dance, a lucky charm, etc. would help them, I would do it ... and have. It doesn't. They are baffling in how they perceive their life. I guess they believe their own lies. [/QUOTE]
