[QUOTE="DDD, post: 341871, member: 35"] I'm sorry that interventions haven't worked. Somehow I am nor surprised as "presents well" seems to be the main criteria. Drove me nuts! :frowny: Like you I became very active in the PTO (small town version of PTA, lol, so there are no dues to pay) and that conduit to the faculty/staff turned out to be very helpful during the times when GFGmom "reclaimed" her difficult child son. I also was very involved in youth organizations (sports etc) which gave me another way to network. Being "one of the parents" in the eyes of the normal aged parents allowed me to hear the scuttlebut of how the kids were doing. I wish I could say that both boys have thrived based on participation and love from husband and I. The consolation is that they have always known that we were there for them and that gave them a thread to hang on to when their Mom made poor choices. Sadly the little girl does not have that safe connection and at eight years old she does dishes and sweeps to "earn her keep" :sick: and doesn't know how to count or recognize the alphabet. It's tragic. Just wanted to send supportive thoughts your way and let you know that I understand your pain. Fingers crossed that detaching is the best choice in your situation and that your daughter will recognize herself in the mirror. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
