[QUOTE="Alli1, post: 167585, member: 5469"] Hi and thank you for your welcomes. I took her to a counselor, that's who gave me the diagnosis (after one session) although she said she exhibits symptoms of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) (of course I ran home and looked it up). I have to admit, we have always had "issues" since she was young - very defiant and sensitive to every criticism, no common sense, repeats sentences. (Minor stuff, I'm aware). She has always lived with us, yes, and her father took his own life so that was very unexpected. She has never seen a counselor before because the one I saw previously said "you are the best counselor for your child" which I understand in a way, but it obviously meant that for two years my child wasn't getting proper help. :frowny: I'm glad I won't be hauled away. I'm sure I'm not a perfect mom... but if my other one seems 'fine'? It can't all be me? Anyway I can see that I am not alone and that so many are hanging on despite even greater challenges...so I have to try not to go insane while waiting for her to get better. She will get better, right?? Alli1 [/QUOTE]
