I know I also dedicate more time to her than the other kids but I have to she needs the attention. I love my child
Anyone who has children absolutely knows the trials and tribulations parents can experience raising their children. Great observations and advice here, follow through immediately and always in a timely manner with recommendations. Unfortunately...'Love does not always conquer all.'
The appointment is Monday and I'm scared. That's not when I could fit them in, it's when they could fit me in. I know she is a new patient and all and the first appointment takes a little more time. It's the waiting I'm having a hard time with. The uncertainty of it all. I'm worried they will tell me it's not just a child acting out of frustration, I'm worried something else is at play here. I have thought about it for years and worried about all my children from birth in ways I guess so it's only natural to worry now about what they may say. I am unsure of what they may say but the only thing I know for certain is no matter what they say I will love her and I will support her, I will do everything in my power to make sure she gets help if that's what she needs. In my eyes best cast scenario they tell me it's me but no matter what happens, no matter what they say to me I will take that little girl home and I will hug her and I will love her unconditionally

No, the best case scenario is that they find out what is happening and can get her the proper therapy and/or medication. It is not true that the best case scenario blames you.
A diagnosis is NOT the end of the world. She will still be the same sweet child, but she will get the help she needs to control her own behavior.
As a mom it's hard to explain. It's not some bobo I can kiss better, all I can do is take her into my arms tell her I love you. I don't know what a diagnosis of autism or something else like that will mean for her future and yes I'm not afraid to say that scares me. It doesn't mean I will love her any less but hearing it's me would ease my worry for her future a bit. But truth is anything that will help her would of coarse be a blessing and welcomed. If my child needed a heart I would gladly give her the one beating in my chest if I could but all I can do is take her to the dr and hope we can find something that works for her. Maybe I'm nuts but I have never left the stage of being a mom where I look at my kids in complete aw. I adore them all, they are amazing gifts from god. I watch them grow and feel blessed to have been chosen to be their mother. There isn't a day that goes by I don't look at each of them and think they are the most amazing things I've ever seen. No matter what the dr says I will never stop viewing her this way because it is true. No matter the diagnosis (if any) I am just so grateful to be her mom.
Nobody is questioning your love for the child. Why are you going on about that? It's not wrong as a mother to be afraid your child has a mental illness. With time, therapy, and the appropriate meds, this can probably be fixed.
But the first thing I would do is let the child wear pullups whenever she wants and stop making that a rule.
There is no need to w so flatly rude but I "went on about that" because I wanted to make it clear that like some have posted saying it's not the end of the world and it doesn't mean she won't be the same sweet child, all I was saying is no matter what I will love her and am well aware it's not the end of the world because there is nothing they can tell me that wouldn't have me thinking she wasn't the same sweet child. Maybe I took what they were saying differently than you or in another way than they meant or possibly even because this is a very emotional thing for me (due to maybe the fact it's my kid) but I am not one who chooses rudeness or par takes in it. And by rudeness I don't mean anyone but the last poster. That being said I will allow her to wear pull-ups if that's what the dr says but to clarify she is potty trained and I allow a pull-up at night because she is asleep and doesn't know she is going potty but during the day if she is wearing them she will use them just so she doesn't have to go to the restroom. In panties she goes potty in the toilet
Are you saying I need to call cps on myself or should have cps called on me? Cps is an organization put there to protect children who are in danger. My children are care for and not in danger so I do not understand why cps would be an issue unless you fear for their safety.
And yes u took it as rude perhaps it was a rash choice but that's how I viewed it and I appreciate the fact it wasn't intended that way thank you
