[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 113217, member: 3626"] There's also the possibility that she has fetal alcohol effect. If she had fetal alcohol syndrome, I'm that would have been diagnosed by now. But Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is not obvious. Sadly, there really is nothing that can be done for it -- it is brain damage and there is no reversal for that. Behavior modification can help to some extent. I do understand your fear and frustration. If it is BiPolar (BP) and/or ODD, there is hope. The fact that she harmed an animal makes her behavior even more frightening. Sometimes it takes many tries to find a therapist who is a good fit. Giving up after one is unsuccessful is like giving up the first time one alls off of a bike -- you never learn to ride. I hope you find some way to get your family help. You've gotten some good advice about where to look. One other resource you can use now is reading The Explosive Child. That book is extremely useful in helping us understand our difficult child's reasoning and has some very good tips on how to work with them. [/QUOTE]
