[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 336784, member: 8617"] I had no idea there was cutting and biting going on. Sometimes the lines get blurry with difficult child's and what the heck is going on. I know my difficult child never has a clear cut case of anything. It's so frustrating to know something may be up but to never be able to put your finger on it. It makes helping them harder. The vampire myth was based on Vlad the Impaler, he was a very sick dude. He was who the name Dracula came from. To further make it all legend Bram Stroker wrote the book about him. The book was FICTION, as we all know. Long story short there is very clear historical evidence as to why the vampire myth came to be. Not that diving into that history will be helpful but if need be there is clear evidence much to the contrary of your daughters "fantasy". If she picks and chooses her "facts" it may fuel her ideas if she sees it as factual. That is not good for someone with bizarre ideation. Here is a link for the vampire disorder on wiki [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_vampirism[/URL] From what I can see it clearly spells out that it IS in fact a mental disorder based on a childhood trauma and not an [U]actual[/U] case of being a "real" vampire. The behavior is a symptom of the disorder not some "sign". I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here on that though. Here is a link about the real Dracula, maybe some historical and clinical facts printed out and left on difficult child's bed for her to meditate on will help? by the way he lived in Transylvania (Romania today) [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_III_the_Impaler[/URL] [/QUOTE]
