[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 708606, member: 11832"] Sorry for the confusion Praecepta. Copa got it all right. The farm is 3 hours away. We go up there every other week-end and are planning to move there full time this summer. Candy does not want to move, nor does she like SO. I recently started taking her to a therapist to discuss the impending move, SO, and Ferb (difficult brother). Praecepta, what else do you think I should have done since she was having a panic attack in a parking lot? Like I said, I was trying to drive home, but I could see she was too upset to continue. I pulled into a spot and just sat there for awhile not saying anything except that I wanted her to go to the back seat. I gave up after I realized she just couldn't do it. I have a blanket in the trunk. Should I have tossed it over her? I knew getting her home was the best thing for her, but it was rather tough to accomplish under those circumstances. Should I maybe have gone over and held her firmly? I was afraid to touch her since I was the one who triggered the panic attack. Crayola, this is her third panic attack. Two were because I was angry, one was when Ferb was threatening suicide. I was angry then, too, actually. I was yelling loudly for her to call 911. She couldn't do it. She did bring me her phone, though. When we got back to the Richmond house (as opposed to the farmhouse), I talked her into coming inside. I sat and held her and talked to her calmly. That seemed to help her. Both kids have been through a lot lately. Ferb tends to get angry and lash out in an aggressive manner. Candy tends to withdraw. Wisernow, she does get a lot of mom and me time. But maybe knowing SO would be in town this week-end was upsetting in that she was hoping for more mom and me. She has a therapy appointment on Monday. Thanks for the info, Copa. I will look into it. I have never had a full-blown panic attack like Candy experienced. I tend to sink into an eerie calm during extreme emotional events. I agree that Candy probably has PTSD from what she witnessed with her father and now her brother. [/QUOTE]
