OT, but prayers desperately needed
My little daughter, age 6 has Reactive Attachment Disorder. She is adopted and deeply feels the loss of her birth mother and more so, her foster mother. She has been in therapy for 3+ years already. So, then comes my diagnosis. We have played it very low key. I am Stage 1 and truly feel in my heart things will be okay. All of this may have nothing to do with my daughter's present troubles, but you never know. Anyway, she has regressed in her treatment lately and now expressed feelings that she wants to kill herself. When she was more calm, we talked more about it and she said she has thought about it a lot and thinks if she hit her head on the wall very hard she would die or she wants to run out in front of a car so she will "get squished" and die. We had an emergency meeting with her psychiatrist and started her on new medication. It can cause terrible side effects, but we have tried others and they have not worked. Also met with her counselor and he agreed that the meds are needed and gave suggestions in working with her more. I know that so many here know the power of prayer and so I ask, Please, will you add my dear sweet daughter, Clara to your prayer list. I appreciate it more than I can say. Thank you. Sincerely, susan
