I know that when I last wrote in my blog I was talking about my daughter and her issues. With all her issues, one would think I really knew a lot of answers. Well guess, what, this is one time that I'm at a standstill. It's at a time when I don't know what to do and I pray that the answer comes to me or I google the crap out of my computer to try and find an answer.
My daughter has an issue, we addressed it with her therapist and now she is seeing her twice a week until she acknowledges the problem. We had a parent, client meeting with her therapist to discuss next steps because we, as the parents, need to discuss her life, she is going to college in 4 weeks and we really did not know if she could handle it. She feels very confident she can handle it because she will be away from us. The therapist gave us some good feedback to discuss with her psychiatrist. We were to discuss some testing, med change and maybe an evaluation. My daughter was okay with this as she feels she wants to resolve here issues. My husband and believe this is all behavioral and she needs to look inside herself and try to change. Needless to say, my husband and daughter went to her psychiatrists appointment. The psychiatrist talked with my daughter alone and then had my husband go in. He dismissed the testing and med change, okay, what do we do. He felt this was not a medication issue and felt my daughter needed specialized help, but needed to research it and they would have to return next week. Everyone was let down. Waiting as you know is not any one's best trait, especially ours! So all the questions go through your mind, should we send her to college, do we wait a semester and have her evaluated. We don't know. We are perplexed and scared.
So sometimes in my blogs I lead you to believe I know a lot, well I do, but sometimes I'm just as mystified as the next person. No one quite knows an answer for our children, so as parents we have to find all the information and make decisions. I wish it was easier, but there are not a lot of inroads being made in this area of children's disabilities. So after this blog I am off to find a solution for my daughter...,,
