[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 338318, member: 6546"] If so--I think I've finally learned why.... I learned something very important after meeting with the psychiatrist this weekend. The doctor told me that many times, when a child is presented to a psychiatrist and the Mom (or primary female caregiver) rattles off a whole list of the child's bizarre behaviors, 90 times out of 100 it turns out that the [I]Mom is the one suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder[/I] and that she is projecting her own issues onto her children. So no wonder so many docs over the years have acted as though the problem was me, all me and nothing but me!!! And this doctor doesn't feel that way....why? Because husband is so tired of hearing that the problem must be Mom that he was determined to accompany me to these appts with the new doctor. It's pretty hard to say the trouble is Mom, all Mom and nothing but Mom when Dad is right there telling the same kinds of stories about the child. Both parents can't be suffering from similar forms of Borderline (BPD)...so maybe it really is the child this time. If you are running into the same kind of brick wall--it might be worth your while to bring a "witness" to your next psychiatrist appointment. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
