[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 403808, member: 6705"] You're describing my Onyxx perfectly here. It's other stuff, too, but specifically sugar and salt. Mostly sugar. The brown sugar, powdered sugar, granulated... Are all locked in my bedroom until thay are needed. Same with cocoa/ovaltine. Plastic bags, or whatever she could find. Frosting? Hahahaha - again, there's a reason I have a small fridge in my room. I crave carbs when I'm anxious or upset, but since I'm a reasonably "normal" adult, I can deal with them. Onyxx was also abused, physically, emotionally, and sexually when with her biomom. So I can very much see the parallels. Please, find her a new counselor/therapist as soon as you can... Preferably one who has experience with sexual abuse, as this can be an animal of a whole different color. In the meantime... I hate to suggest this, but it's the only thing that has worked for us... Anything you do not want her to take... Lock it up in your room. Regular indoor locks aren't good, you'll have to go for a keyed lock (some of us even need deadbolts). And FWIW - I'm [I]sure[/I] she doesn't know why. You won't be able to get that out of her - but a counselor might. Jett tried this, but he's just not very good at lying/hiding stuff. Someone above mentioned fetal alcohol - Jett's been diagnosis'd with it, would not be surprised if it is part of Onyxx's issues, and with her background... It's a possibility, is all. Hugs, and welcome to the family! [/QUOTE]
