[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 40154, member: 3450"] Hi, this sounds very much like what happened with my former easy child. Her older sister (difficult child 1) had gone to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and I was looking forward to time with my "normal, good" kid--she was 13 at the time. Then she came to me and told me she heard voices telling her to do bad things, she was seeing a man in her room, she was cutting, etc. I was so shocked and disheartened. I did get her to a therapist and psychiatrist. They felt she was not "psychotic", she knew the voices and person weren't real. It took many months of therapy (almost 2 yrs actually) to come up with dissociative disorder as a diagnosis. It turns out her sister had been abusive to her and I didn't realize it. I mean, I knew her sister was mean sometimes and I knew it was hard for our whole family to live with her, but I didn't realize how bad it was for difficult child 2. I really feel for you...it was such a blow for me to think I had to deal with another difficult child when I thought she was a easy child! Jane [/QUOTE]
