For several yrs she's wet her pants. We went to a Dr.%26amp;all test come back fine. She always has her hands down her pants,soils her panties, fights w/me to shower %26amp; wears the same underwear for days. When she does shower she dont wash her hair and I always have to make her get back in. She don't flush w/she goes #2. She smells and kids at school make fun of her. The rest of us are clean and we feel dirty because we find feces all over the place and it smells so bad. She lies constantly. She recently started smoking behind my back, is fasinated w/pot and was seen w/a group of friends huffing. She has an appt on May 1st w/a psychiatrist.She has a lazy personality and yells when she is asked to do even the smallest chore. Like put her shoes away. Shes overweight and refused to walk/w/me.I fear sexual abuse.She said nothing has happened. I can't imagine who would do such a thing. Except her biological father who I found out after we divorced melested 2 kids. She was one when we split.
Mental health professionals....PLEASE I need your advise.... Please help.?
Wow, I can only imagine how stressful this must be for you!
I think that the psychiatrist will be able to give you some answers. If there WAS sexual abuse the Dr. will be able to tell--even is she lies about it. Psychiatrists are trained to deal w/ these situations.
Please don't feel that this is your fault. And please don't let the stress overwhelm you.
Best wishes.
EDITED TO ADD: In light of your additional details, I'd definately encourage you to just go ahead and take her to the hospital. DO NOT feel guilty. And don't listen to her when she tells you she hates you or that you're a bad mother. YOU'RE NOT.
OK, straight up talk here: It takes a **** of a lot of courage to be parent sometimes and this is one of those times. You need to get help both for her and for yourself. It will be hard and things will get really rough for a while but you deserve a normal life and she deserves to have the most normal life she can have too. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be.
Take care.

Sounds like she has needed psychological help for a long time-Why are you on the internet asking for Mental health pros take her to one NOW

It does sound like she may have been molested. I still think having her put on the mental health adolescent unit for a week or so, might help out. She has a lot of issues to work out. She is being a danger to herself, by soiling herself and not taking showers, smoking cigs and pot, and huffing. Please.

i work in children's mental health. you never mentioned how old she was... she does need to see a professional in the field up close and personal to be evaluated. she could have numerous mental health conditions. some that come to mind are depression, post traumatic stress disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, etc.
she is being a danger to herself by using drugs or using substances to get a high (ie: the makeup, etc.).
don't feel bad about taking her to the hospital. they can best keep her safe there and can have some 1 on 1 time to evaluate her and find something to help her a lot faster then seeing a psychiatrist once a week....
please don't call her lazy or put her down in front of her. i know this is how you feel about what she's doing and how she's acting but if she is depressed it won't help her feel better. i wish you all the best.

Your daughter needs some serious help by some real professionals. Take her to the hospital and check her in for a while. She needs to be evaluated and treated. Do not prolong this due to your own feelings of guilt. If you don't get her some help and something bad happens think of the guilt you'll feel then. As her mom you have to meet her needs and right now she needs some professional help. You are not a bad mom just conmfused is all. Pack her a bag and be waiting for her when she comes home and just take her to the hospital. She will get help and it will allow you some peace of mind, a respit and much needed time to unwind from the stress. Just Git-R-Done!!!
