[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 293142, member: 1233"] I am sorry she is having these problems. This is one time you simply cannot keep her problems to yourself. I think an appointment with a child and adolescent psychiatrist should be made tomorrow. It may take a few months to get in so you need to schedule as soon as you can. You also MUST go to her regular doctor as soon as you can because you may need a referral. If she told you that she had a friend with these problems and was acting out on them, would you call the friend's parents? How would you feel if your child told her father about these feelings and he didn't share them with you? This really is the kind of situation that requires parents to be parents. We have to do what our kids need, instead of what they want. She is going to be very angry, but this is not something that will probably go away on its own. It is just like a broken bone, or diabetes. You would not keep your child away from the doctor if she broke a bone, or refuse to tell the doctor or her father if she was diabetic, would you? I hope you can find help for her soon. [/QUOTE]
