[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 448942, member: 1233"] Your therapist is not firing on all cylinders if she thinks all of this must mean that difficult child was sexually abused, that the only people who act the way your daughter does were sexually abused. So often people get into the therapist profession as a way to deal with their own koi and baggage and then they believe that everyone who acts a certain way has the same problems no matter what. I know your daughter is not a child, but have you read The Bipolar Child by Papalous (sp?)? I think it might help you put some of her behavior when she was younger into some kind of perspective if the disorder manifested years ago. It also has some great chapters on how the brain works and medications and other therapies. I know there are great books for adults too, but as you are sort of looking back to help figure things out, this might be a great tool. The looking for love type of sexual acting out sounds more like hypersexuality than abuse aftermath, at least from what I have heard. Whatever it is, I hope that she is able to work through to a positive future in whatever will truly make her happy and healthy. [/QUOTE]
