[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 221373, member: 6479"] I was hoping from my posts that it was clear that I absolutely do not think my sis is a "bad kid". We went through enough with my older stepbrothers for me to fully understand mental illness's ramifications! :) I've known that sis wasn't "quite right" since she was a little kid. Mom's done heavy work with her from the very beginning, to get her to "use her words", and as a result, if she's not totally freaking out, she's usually very honest about what she's feeling/thinking. There's a major city about 1.5 hours from us, and I'm sure if she hasn't had a neuropsychologist appointment, she'll get one. Right now, Mom's just trying to get her in to see SOMEone local to start the process. But the holiday, y'know. She's back home now. I can't get Mom to say much about it (she sounds exhausted, and isn't wanting to talk about it at the moment), but Sis does want to go back to school, and is half-angry at school for making her leave and half-contrite about freaking out up there. Currently, she's saying she'll agree to go to therapy, etc. So there's that least. But her moods swing from minute to minute, so god knows how she'll feel in a day or two. Two weeks ago, she was demanding we pull her outta that school and bring her home, now she gets kicked out and wants to go back. difficult children! *eye roll* [/QUOTE]
