About us

It seems like my family has been battling my daughters mental illness forever even thou she is only 14. She started showing signs almost from birth, it was a normal full term pregnancy. At 4 months old I knew something was wrong, she cried for hours the doctors could not find any reason for this. At 1 she was escaping from the crib and the house, no playpen, car seat nothing could contain her. At 2 1/2 she started becoming violent towards animals and other children. My parents who lived out of state came to visit once and took her to McDonald's and let her play in playland there she bit a boy on the face and laughed about it. by 5 she was threatening to cut other children heads off if they did not play the way she wanted them to. She had night terrors and temper tantrums where she would just scream for hours. When she started school she was constantly in trouble for bullying other kids and fighting, in 4th grade she assaulted 2 teachers, a police officer and took a full school bus hostage and was removed from public school. Since then there have been many diagnosis and medications along with trips to mental facilities, she has even told neighbors that we beat her sister and broke both her legs and wouldn't take her to the doctor so the neighbor called the police needless to say when the police got there they found my youngest daughter happily playing in the house with no injuries. This has happened several times and caused us to have to move after she told a child in the neighborhood that her dad was sexually abusing her, police later found that she was lying and when they confronted her about the lie she recanted her statement and told them she did it because she was mad. This too has happened more than once, we thought things were getting better for a while until December of 2014 when we found her unresponsive, she had attempted suiside by overdose she almost died. After that attempt she started what she calls cutting, very shallow superficial scratches to her arms, she would tell all the kids in the neighborhood that she was emo or crazy and that she was going to kill herself when they didn't give her the attention she wanted from them, It is almost like she does this thinking that they will like her more or think she is cool however that is not what happens then we start over with the cycle of depression that is all blamed on her dad and i she yells and screams and blames us for her not having any friends. Now yet again she got grounded that night she went out of her window and went to a boys house im not sure of what went on there because i got a call at almost 1 am from the state police until then i didnt even know she wasnt at home, but she told them yet again that my husband was hitting her and sexually abusing her, now she is in a foster home, after being interviewed by child services she then told them it was me hitting her and wouldnt talk about any sexual abuse.The child services worker told me herself that they are not concerned about the alligations because my child can not tell 2 people the same story that her story has changed at least three time since that night. Child services wants to know why she does this ... but we all do ..
