[QUOTE="FTN, post: 113983, member: 4458"] You're right. I think its more than just a behavioral problem but her mom is dragging her feet on getting her into counseling, etc. And by feral I just meant more along the lines of frequent temper tantrums which include breaking things. Its sad but I do blame her mom from time to time. She was too scared to get divorced from difficult child's abusive dad. Unfortunately, she had to work the night shift leaving the older two to rear the youngest. Her upbringing wasn't exactly a bed of roses either to say the least. In the past, she was afraid to reprimand them for anything but is definitely developing a backbone in that regard. Before, she'd get home from work then hide in her room since she didn't want to be terrorized by the youngest. The older two aren't from the the difficult child's father. They came out about 5 months accusing the youngest's dad of molestation. Authorities are investigating but we haven't heard any updates for a while now. difficult child has a two hour, supervised visitation bi-weekly. Its pathetic because before all this came out he would never show up for his weekends with her. Or on the off chance he would, he'd just throw her in front of the TV at his place and have multiple women over. She has memories of him beating her yet she tells us all how she loves him and has changed (in and out of drug rehab, etc.) yet hates us for trying to instill basic hygiene rules, vegetable eating, etc. In the past, I always liked kids but this has changed my mind. I don't know how to deal and cope with such a child. [/QUOTE]
