A Quick Note About Riley
Monday, September 21, 2009 by Amy
It's starting again. Everyone who knows Riley knows what "it" is. The crying, the hoarding, the terror. Ugh. It sucks. Hard. I will have to argue that it's worse than ever. It used to be that she only did this when leaving the house. Now she does it ALL THE TIME. Her new thing is that she does "it" when I throw anything away. ANYTHING. Like the empty bagel bag. Her new toothbrush packaging. The trash from a Popsicle. The pit from a peach. AN ORANGE PEEL FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!! It is absolutely horrible. I cannot live like this. This is NOT normal. This may not be something that can be fixed by "normal" means. This has been going on for nearly four years. We've tried everything. She liked the play therapist, but I think it may be time for a psychiatrist. I know I've said that before, but really, this time I MEAN it. Exhale.
