[QUOTE="Neaners, post: 340141, member: 8949"] Thanks Terry and Sue, Our daughter has been diagnosed with severe depression and ODD and is on Prozac (20 mg). The psychiatric evaluation we have received indicates she is antagonistic toward family with no real known reason. It also states that they question how much insight she has in regards to the problematic behaviors she has demonstrated in the past and the changes she needs to make, because her remarks seem to focus on the changes her family needs to make and she does not take accountability for her part. From past experiences, it seems that when she doesn't follow rules or lies, that is when she self harms and then puts the blame on us. When she's in a controlled setting, away from peers and outside influences, she does really well and we get along great. With that being said, she does well in the residency program and is a "model resident". It's like there's this dark personality underneath the sweetness and you don't know when it's going to come out. I do believe she is still in the honeymoon stage, is saying what she thinks she needs to to get out and has made no real progress. I spoke to her on the phone twice this week. I wanted to tell her I love her and am thinking abount her. It was a calm conversation. However, she hung up on me the first time when I wouldn't agree with what she wanted to hear. The second time I called, she talked to me but, I could feel anger in her tone. Her main concern was that she was afraid her dad would make her stay longer because of the behavior she displayed at her last home visit. Again, not taking accountablility for her own behavior. I feel like my husband is giving up. He doesn't want to see her for awhile or want to go to the therapy appts. I am the one that goes to every thearpy appointment.! He doesn't say how long of a break he wants to take and this worries me. He's thinking "the tough love method" is the way to go. I tell him that is not going to work (it hasn't thus far!) but, he is very stubborn. I believe it just adds fuel to the fire as negativity did with your son. At this point, I feel we are just stuck, with no real improvement with her treatment and now with my husband's [COLOR=#2e2e2e][FONT=Verdana]disassociation, it feels like there's no end to this.
