Results are in...
SD is not ADHD. BM called DH yesterday to discuss the results of her super expensive ($2k) special testing. I'm sure that BM and SD are disappointed that they can't blame SD's poor performance in school on ADHD or learning disabilities. BM kept talking about how much she spent on this testing. I'm sure she is going to try to get us to pay for some of it. However, she sent DH an e-mail that she had sent this doctor that did the testing stating that she would pay anything not covered by ins. She is the one that chose to send her to this "special" dr that her insurance didn't cover and our insurance didn't cover either. Sounds like a BM problem to me.
I find it crazy that she spent this much on this testing. I took my son to a therapist and they were on my ins plan and they were able to determine he was ADHD without charging me thousands of dollars.
SD is still on her attention attention attention streak. I almost feel like the more attention she gets the worse she is with it. We had her on New Year's Eve (I was really hoping she would stay with a friend but no such luck). Anyways after the ball dropped she starts talking about how she got notifications on her grades and she has all good grades except 1. What kid talks about this stuff at midnight on New Year's Eve when they are on break?!?! The attention seeking kind I guess....

Who did she pay 2K for ADHD
Who did she pay 2K for ADHD testing? I assume it was psychological testing, which is silly for ADHD. As you said, we could have done it for her at my clinic for the cost of her co-pay.
Some fancy top notch over
Some fancy top notch over priced psychologist that apparently doesn't take any insurance b/c I have really good insurance (SD's secondary insurance) that covers most therapists/clinics/etc! I found out for $2 at the behavioral health clinic I take my son too. They don't even charge me my co-pay.
Don't worry, Simpleton
They'll find something else to blame. Or maybe they'll have the testing done again (and again). That's our BM's approach... 2 years ago, they did a full psych eval on SS. Nothing diagonsed. So now she wants to do it again because 2 years is "such a long time," and the doctor is going along with it.
Of course, 4 years isn't such a long time when it's a therapist who is no longer treating the kids (because DH asked her what the kids' diagnoses were and why she violated HIPAA) and wants to say bad things about DH, but I suppose that's another issue...
Ha, I figured the same thing
Ha, I figured the same thing nengooseus, she stopped taking her to the other therapist that I am sure could have diagnosed SD as well. However, DH was going to every other apt and it was becoming clear that BM was part of the problem...so time to switch....this is like her 3rd therapist I believe.
SD seemed to really want to have ADHD to b/c she kept talking about how fidgety she was and other things like that. I'm sure she googled it to see what symptoms were so she could mimic them. I've seen her google searches for shoulder sprain, wrist sprain, etc etc. Oh and her search on how to catch a predator (maybe that explains her reaching out to older people on instagram and talking about sex with them)...IDK...but that was the reason she was going back to therapy this last time and somehow that was all dismissed and focus was switched to this?!?!
2k was probably worth it to
2k was probably worth it to BM to have another reason to keep herself involved in yours life more often.
LOL, yeah, she does always
LOL, yeah, she does always need a reason to try to be relevant and intrude in our day to day lives! Especially since DH has been better about ignoring her and not involving her in our lives.
yes, she'll try to weedle
H's "share" of this expense out of him (via you of course; SMs always end up with the short end of the stick). She'll probably doctor shop like the Gir did to find one that will give her SOME sort of diagnosis as a smoke screen for her lack of parenting.
That is exactly what she will
That is exactly what she will do, she is so transparent, and yes it does affect me ultimately. Oh she definitely dr shops. This is the 3rd psychologist/therapist that she has taken to in the past 2 years....that I know of.
I did love that DH's response was. Well she will just need to study and try harder!
IDK, call me crazy but if BM worried as much about her school work as she did about putting her in every ECA out there she might actually do her school work.
Her doctor shopping obviously
Her doctor shopping obviously backfired this time!
LOL, right!!! I thought it
LOL, right!!! I thought it was hilarious that she didn't get the results she desperately wanted....even with SD trying to act ADHD. Who wants to be diagnosed like that?!?! Crazy people!
