good morning gang!
it's busy around here of course! I wish the sun was shining. It has been raining and gloomy outside since Friday. *sigh* but I'm still smiling.
it was good to see all the posts over the weekend. but I am so sorry for all the problems tho, especially with our children. goodness, I will be lifting each one of you and your families up in prayer! promise!
Lanee - you mentioned your 14 year old daughter is scratching/cutting. if you don't mind talking about it, I wondered if she has been diagnosed with a chemical imbalance like depression or anxieties or ocd or body dysmorphic disorder, etc - a lot of teens with different chemical imbalances may cut and scratch (self-mutilate). Hopefully she will get the treatment in the hospital that she needs and they will find the problem, but I have learned from years of dealing with my oldest son's chemical imbalance that sometimes as parents we have to be very diligent (bull dogs) to get a correct diagnosis and the help they need. Also, you may want to check out a thread I had started about earlier about low thyroid and mental problems. I don't mean to stick my nose in your business and I am only trying to help, but would like to suggest that you have her thyroid checked (with the correct tests) to make sure that is not part of the problem.
you can read the thread at:

bbl & hugs,
cathy
