Thanks so much for replying to me. Yes, the most frustrating part is that I do not know what is going on with Lisa. Doctors only say that she is depressed and has anxiety. She has been on so many different meds and nothing seems to help at all. She is very depressed and anxious but as her mom and being with her more than anyonein her life I can not deny that I see disturbing behaviors. She has also been in and out of juvenile detention for taking my car in the middle of the night and then driving miles away and then just leaving my car there after she has hit either poles or other vehicles. It's quite bizzare since she does this by herself with no particular destination and shows very little remorse for the damage she has caused. It's not like she is going for a teenage joy ride with her friends, which would be bad enough, but she does these kind of things alone. As a result she is 16 and has 4 felonies on her record. She also shoplifts and doesn't care if she gets caught. She has her own money in the bank but will not spend it but would rather steal. It is very strange. She is a cutter and has scarred up both of her arms. 2 suicide attempts and has been hospitalized twice. Therapists and doctors are reluctant to diagnose because they say she is too young. I see symtons of borderline disorder, odd, etc. To me there is something very wrong and I am scared for her safety. She rages a lot and is very outspoken and rude. Has a difficult time making friends etc. There is so much more, but please tell me a bit more about your son....as far as his condition being fatal. I am so concerned and lost. BTW, where do you live? What is the best choice as far as getting a diagnosis? She sees a therapist weekly, but I don't feel that the therapist is qualified to idendify what is wrong. It seems she is just a sounding board.

Please write back

From: sparkysmoonlady Hey Tacoma   Your daughter is still a minor so you do deserve to have some kind of diagnosis - especially as they are giving her meds which don't seem to be helping   You could insist on some information - after all - unless she is in hospital or jail you are the one handing out the tablets - (I hope)   You say she has been "acting out" for about 3 years.   It sounds like something I call ASD - attention seeking devices   I went though a lot of similar behaviour with my son except he got into hanging instead of cutting   But he lied, stole, had motor vehicle offences and assault changes all on his juvenile record   I had no diagnosis either and in his case the condition was fatal   I certainly hope you can get some assistance - insist on it - before it's too late   And please remember - this is not your fault   Sometimes somethings goes wrong in the womb and it's happening more and more in our societies were children find a certain loss of social limitations once the reach pubery   Good luck with it and please keep us informed   Lin
