[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 388665, member: 84"] Yeah, step..........they've convinced him she's so insane she's going to kill their baby. Which is so far from the truth it is ridiculous. But they never liked her from the start, so I'm guessing they're using this as a means to split them up for good. Nichole talked to D this morning. She seems to be in a better place. She's made an appointment with a psychiatrist and plans to go back into treatment and get back on her medications, get a job ect. So maybe, just maybe she listened to what we've been telling her. And I'm sure the prayers here are helping her. D is a difficult child, no doubt about it. Actually one of the reasons I'm so fond of her is that she and Nichole are so alike in many ways. She really is a good kid with an enormous heart who is doing the best she can to just have a "normal" life.......something she only saw when she came here for sleep overs. Her own family dynamics were........well........Let's put it this way, Mom only took her to psychiatrist to have her treated because she was forced into it via the school DFS ect.......Her Mom buys into the old school stereotypical garbage about mental illness.........and honestly has done some serious damage to D by telling her she'll never be normal, she's just a nut job who can't function........and I so could go on but you get the idea. Mom's attitude directed the rest of the family's attitude. Mom would've preferred D have been locked away in a basement rather than anyone knowing she had a crazy daughter. Sadly it seems her husband's family seem to have similar feelings....... This is not helping a girl who is already struggling to remain stable under awful (at best) circumstances. And is not helping when Nichole and I are talking to her and trying to get her back into treatment. (she always drops out because she's so afraid of others finding out) I'm really hoping she makes it to that psychiatrist appointment but will be holding my breath until she does. [/QUOTE]
