(9,580 posts)55. My 8 yr old granddaughter
is in the same place as yours. She keeps washing her hands saying she is trying to get clean. She is having panic attacks and anger issues. This previously sweet girl is lashing out and hitting her mother. We are all very upset. Even though her parents are struggling due to reduced hours, they have started her piano lessons up for one day a week, in the hope that it would be something positive for her. Also bought a backyard pool, above ground but large. Swimming is her "thing" so it's helping.
Lives are just turned upside down, and we all feel helpless. Seeing our kids suffer, yes even the 52 year old kid, is the worst.

Contact your Us Senator's office and also your State Senator's office. They know the steps to take.
