[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 593325, member: 1550"] Whoever told you that your child wouldn't need help f or abuse is a moron...a total idiot. Your child DOES need help, even if he can't remember, it is in his subconscious and his behavior is affected by it plus he could do similar things to other children. It's there, whether he rememers it or not. I have two kids who were sexually abused and we did the whole works as far as treatment. In foster care, I've seen six month olds that were already shut down and grew into very angry children. IF alcohol was involved while chld was a developing fetus, she could have fetal alchol spectrum problems. If so, at th e worst, these kids don't remember, from day to day, what they are supposed to do to behave and are extremely hyperactive. Your child may have some form of attachment disorder. You are going to need tons of help for him/her. On top of that, there may be other things, especially if Mom drank or took drugs during pregnancy. You do need a neuropsychologist evaluation and serious therapy for this child. It was very kind of you to take the child in, but this child is going to be difficult and the sooner you get help, the better.Does she have a conscience? Does she hurt your other kids? Depending on how old your other children are, you need to try to explain to them that this child is not a "bad" girl. She needs help, and they could be a part of t hat help. You may have to get a sitter if you want to go out until your child is more manageable. I have a son on the autism spectrum and we needed to do that for him. If you have no sitter, maybe Dad can take them out and you stay home. It's not fun, but you haven't had a chance to get this child the help she needs yet. It can get better. On another note, many kids don't nap after two. I have raised my fair share too and my most normal kids did not need naps after two. Not all kids do. If I put especially one kid down for a nap at age two he wasn't tired until midnight. He functioned fine without a nap. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
