[QUOTE="chococat, post: 451838, member: 7380"] Thank you for your response. I feel like no matter how many "right" things I have done/do it feels like things happen anyways :( I know it could have been worse if I wasn't proactive... but I still feel a little helpless. When she was very young I taught her that her body was her body, taught her about personal space, read "your body belongs to you", encoruaged her to speak with me if anyone ever hurt her etc etc... and she was abused anyways, not once but several time over several years... I had her in therapy before we even found out about the abuse, and after we increased the therapy, I bought her books (shes' a big reader, and really appreciated this), we talked... *sigh* I'm just very torn up about this whole thing. I never wanted my daughter to have to experience any of these things and always tried to give her the best chances and the most resources, tools, and education for life... I'm so glad I only had 1 child, I don't know what I'd do if I had to care for more than just her, she's been a challenge her whole life and I know it's not her fault... Another thing I forgot to mention in my first post: my daughter takes clonidine twice a day for impulsivity and the step-mom hadn't been giving the afternoon dose consistently because my difficult child was being "good." I can't help but wonder, if she had been given the medications, if these things would have happened :( [/QUOTE]
