[QUOTE="slsh, post: 403752, member: 8"] Hi and welcome! When was the last time she had a full physical exam, including blood work and urinalysis? Because she eats so much and is craving sugar and carbs, yet is still very petite, I think I would want to make sure that nothing physical is being overlooked, specifically a glucose problem. Another thought would be if she's having a massive growth spurt... I know my son at that age was a human vacuum cleaner, but he literally was growing an inch a month. Girls don't typically grow like that, but if she is growing... well, pretty much, I guess I'd address her eating patterns first with- her regular doctor. I think finding a new therapist is very important. My heart just aches that she had to endure the abuse, and I think it's really pretty important that she keep working thru her feelings, especially since she seems to direct her anger at you and her sister as opposed to her younger brothers. I'm actually kind of surprised that she was able to verbalize so well that she thinks it's not fair her younger sibs did not have the same start in life. To me, that seems to be a sign of some pretty impressive insight. I think it also speaks very highly of her relationship with- you that she could share that. I think you also need to remember that even typical teen girls can be exceptionally moody (in my experience about a gazillion times worse than teen boy moodiness, LOL). I think sometimes it's hard to sort it all out with kids who have had fairly routine childhoods - with your daughter, I would guess it's compounded by other issues. Again, welcome and I'm glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
