Hi Im new here and dont know where to begin. I sit here in tears dont know what to do anymore dont know who to turn to. Its seems we hit a road block.
We adopted our daughter 4 years ago she is now 8 years old. She has had severe trauma in her life from the age 1 to 3 1/2. The first 6 months after adopting her things were great we started to bond and it was feeling like a family and all of a sudden things changed and they have been downhill ever since. She has been in and out of Childrens psy hospitals for the past 4 years was in a Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) for 6 months and discharged 4 days after being discharged was put back in hospital spent almost 2 months there while we tryed to find some options. She currently in a Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) has been there almost 1 year. 1 week ago she was admitted to a childrens psy hospital cause she was out of controll and was not being safe. We had a meeting there today and I feel like I just dont know what to do anymore. We talked about all the abuse and trauma she has gone through the dr said in his 15 years in practice he has not seen a little girl who has been through so much. He said her trauma is very deep and he dont know if she will ever be able to work though it all. She has been comming home for some home vists which always are ended early cause she trys to hurt her brothers and us, she self abuses herself,trys to run away. When she is hospilazied we try and be a active part in her treatment like today when we saw her she asked us to leave she didnt want us there. We asked the doctors if we could be triggering her. He said that could be possibal. We only say that cause around Easter time she had a very bad vist here and she didnt return back for at least 3 months and she did fine no real issues. So in our mind we are wondering would she do better without us?? DR and theropist did say at one time they belived She would never be able to return home. Just dont know what to do!!
I know there is alot of things missing but this is a big step for me I keep all this stuff inside and think I can handle this on my own but I need help and this is a start!! So if you have any questions feel free to ask. Sorry about the spelling and typeos its 1am and Im usally fast asleep :smile:
