[QUOTE="ksm, post: 675000, member: 12511"] We started seeing a psychologist in a larger city, as the therapists that are available in our community had not seemed to be able to help DGD. Two weeks ago, she had an evaluation through the university's psychology department. Her psychiatric went to this university and felt confident with the testing done there. Today we are to get the results. I just feel scared... What if they get it wrong? Plus, tomorrow we go across the state for a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) clinic. I had contacted them two years ago... And just now getting in. I think there are so many things going on... Family history of bipolar on bio moms side, known alcohol use by mom, foster care for a year when she was 5, mom pretty much abandoned her after we adopted, lots of empty promises from mom that was never kept. Diagnosed as ADD in grade school, anxiety and depression by middle school, and I am sure that in my frustrations, I didn't be the parent she deserved or needed. It was like when our relationship started to go well, she would back off, like it was dishonoring her mom. I am afraid of what we might learn... That maybe if I had done XYZ instead of ABC... Or found different therapies when she was younger... So many what ifs. Talked to my son, J's step dad, and reviewed the history. Met biomom in September 1998, she was working in a strip club about 100 miles from here. Went back to see her a few times. At the end of October, she was at his house and pretty much didn't leave. By the end of Nov to early Dec, she looked obviously pregnant. He says he knows she stopped drinking by Jan. 1, 1998. He said she drank a lot of whiskey, and used cocaine. Sometimes 15 to 20 drinks in a 24 hour period, as she was on cocaine and was awake 24/7. J has an average IQ, but very slow processing speeds... Very impulsive. Mood swings. Easily influenced. Unorganized. Procrastinator. Also, very pretty, sings well, out going, very charming on the surface, at least to others, not her family. I will update as I learn what I learn the next two days...
