[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I haven't read the whole thread, OP, but a lot of these PPs are mean and do not realize that but for the grace of G-d go they.

I would caution you against moving.  We were told to do that.  We had somewhat different issues, but did that, and it made things 20 times worse -- and now we are really in mess.    People assume your kid will adjust just fine, but if your kid were going to adjust just fine, they wouldn't be having these issues in the first place.

I would recommend instead parent coaching and therapy to set boundaries and figure out her issues first.   Maybe she should do some after school program, either IOP or something else like sports with also individual therapy sessions.   You could use the threat of moving to get her to do some of these things.   [/quote]

People should realize it's not a lot of mean people, but one obsessive person posting mean things over and over again. This was confirmed by Jeff as this thread was described in his top threads summary. "Unfortunately, the thread was immediately taken over by a lunatic. This poster provided the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth replies. The poster would eventually post 77 times in this 13 page thread, mostly attacking the original poster as a bad parent and offering no useful advice. It is safe to say that this poster ruined the thread completely. "

I am also curious what drives these vitriolic posters who make numerous posts, making it look like there is an army of mean posters. I honestly wonder if such people are posting with earnest anger, or if it's just something they do out of boredom, but it sure sucks because I agree this is an important topic, not that uncommon, and it would be nice if people like the OP could get earnest advice from others who have been through similar.[/quote]
