[QUOTE="AlParedes, post: 379460"] Blue Nude, I can understanding having such an obviously gifted and intelligent child just give up on herself. It is no doubt frustrating for you as a parent. My 14 went from taking college classes for college and high shcool credits, advanced music (guitar and piano) and being ranked nationally in a competitive sport to flunking out of school by the end of eight grade. By that time she had met "risky" new friends (never had one friend last longer than a week since she was a toddler) and ended up in juvenile Hall for bringing a knife to school and has not stopped since. How I realized she was cutting was all of the blades from my BIC started going missing. Even then I thought I was going crazy till her arm shone in the light and tiny slices and scars were all down her arm. She had began dressing what she calls emo in black hoodies and band tees everyday. Shed even keep the hood on to sleep so I almost never had the chance to see her skin. Please get her to see someone she can vent to. My daughters inability to communicate effectively despite being so darn bright was what I think led to cut. She just couldn't talk the pain out on a friends shoulders like you or I. It must be monitered or those feeling could lead suicidal like my childs and led to her being medicated (Abilify) try to get her to talk to you as much as possible and its so great that she showed you and trusted you to know her pain. My heart goes out to you because I also understand feeling helpless as your marriage crumbles under the weight of a difficult child and it is a difficult balance. I hope there is a way to get her to a therapist and much more because it may be much more than hormones out of whack. [/QUOTE]
