[QUOTE="Gramma, post: 76775, member: 4061"] Thank you for sharing that with us. I never thought to look at our family as a country. It just felt like we were the abnormal trying poorly to function in the normal. When we first got the girls, I thought difficult child 3 was autistic. She would not make eye contact, would sit for hours doing nothing, not moving, wouldn't interact with anyone. I was beside myself not knowing what to do and feeling like it was a life sentence as I knew barely anything about autism except what was on TV. Somehow she slowly came out of it and finally was diagnosed as mildly retarded. It wasn't what I wanted to hear, but at least it was an answer to what was going on with her. Upon the advice of my husband's ex, we have started giving difficult child 3 1 tsp of honey twice a day. Supposed to be an herbal/natural way to stop the wetting. Daughter told her it came from a special fairy and the liquid was magic, but she had to help it work. We shall see. Ex also told us to start difficult child 1 on St.John's Wort for her moody roller coaster. Also supposed to be herbal/natural for mood swings and harmless to her age. Ex is a Dr of Herbology (through mail order classes). She is also an ordained minister, go figure, and has 3 or 4 college degrees as well and works as a security guard. Daughters 14 yr old daughter came for a weekend visit. That was a lovely weekend. At least one of the girls was in tears or sarcasm the whole weekend. The dirty looks were flying, mouths were sassing.....you know the routine. It was so much fun. I finally got so mad at the two older ones and told them that they were both premenstrual and that they needed to knock it off!! Finally, Sat night around 7 pm they decided to play Barbies together. This lasted until about 11 pm. By morning they were going at it again. Ugh.... God Bless You. Take care of yourself and know that we all care. [/QUOTE]
