[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 118969, member: 1550"] If it were me, I'd be more interested in seeing a Psychiatrist (with the MD) to see if he feels she is mentally ill (she sounds like it and her biological history is bad with father overdosing) and may need medication. I would make cooperating with a psychiatrist and taking medications a condition to her having freedom to do things. Frankly, if she's this out of control now, and it's not stopped and the reason not discovered, in my opinion it's only going to get worse as she gets older. I would worry about substance abuse. My daughter started at twelve (yes, twelve) and it was common at her school. My daughter also was a cutter--that's a red flag that something bad is wrong. Even if she stopped, she is still obviously not a happy kid, and, no, it's not your fault. She probably inherited a lot of her problems, maybe from bio. dad, and I'd want to get some really aggressive help NOW rather than later. I wish I'd, in retrospect, done the same. Hugs to you. You sound tired and deserve a break. [/QUOTE]
