My daughter sees people who don't exist? What is wrong with her?

Your daughter is awfully young, but she is showing symptoms of schizophrenia....She tells you someone is trying to kill her, this is classic paranoid behavior many schizophrenics display.....She may be hearing voices and responding to them, when you say you hear her talking to herself.....Please get her evaluated by a psychiatrist.....SOON....This is a VERY serious illness and she needs help.....The sooner you catch the illness, the better it will be to manage....Best of luck...

daughters are our own. u gave birth to them, dun show your desperate to them cos' they may feel it. Blind doesnt mean not blessed or useless. They just cant do 1 thing, that is to "see", Make them to feel their are useful, they may find difficulty but they will build their self esteem once they find they are ok in doing some activities. Sometimes, being blind does not mean bad, at least they dont see any cruel or scary things in their life. Accept them as they are. it is not easy to be a parent but maybe getting easier once you are close to your daughters. You may find something that we dun know. They are just as valuable as normal people. Nobody knows what will happen in the future, who knows that they will grow in good-hearted people. I also have a sister that is not able to speak in her age (6 yrs old) She even doesnt know how to hold a thing. We are worry if she will not getting to school. But we are just love her as she is. She may recover someday...We always have this thougt. I believe that our thought n willing can make a miracle :) hope this makes you better, cheer up

I'm sure she doesn't hate them. If she looks at who comes calling at her daughter, I think she is taking a healthy interest in you. \n\nI too, would like to know who my children hang about with.\n\nWhy don't you try, just once, introducing your friends to mum?

My daughter went through a goth phase, too. She is now in college and doing fine. I like most of the goths that I have met. As far as why are people mean to them, they are different and  refuse to blend in with the "IN" crowd so they are shunned for being themselves. Which is not right, but never the less that is how  humans are. Good luck to her.

Hmmm - is it her computer? Then why is it your issue? \n\nCould be she has imaginary friends or knows you pry and doesn't want you to know the names of who she is really listing. Either way, if it's her computer it's her business.

Kids can be so confusing and frustrating at times! I have a 9 yr old daughter, and understand what you mean. I think she is just testing the boundaries, and wants you to be consistent. It's hard, and it's also hard not to give in to them just to keep the peace. But it's very necessary not to let her think she's the queen! I think most of us acted the same way as kids, and now our kids are doing the same things to us. Plus, when they see some of their friends/peers getting more than them, it's hard. I try to use that as a lesson as 'life isn't always fair' - she hates that talk! But it's important to talk to your daughter. Share with her your thoughts and feelings, and allow her to share hers. Maybe these links will help a bit:\nhttp://www.raisingkids.co.uk/9_13/pre_htp03.asp\nhttp://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=388910\nBest of luck, and hold strong! That's what she needs most - consistency and love from you.

You can try a small get-together or a family reunion or a family Picnic. When you meet your daughter, tell her about your revelations and dont say anything that might seem as though you may be pointing something in her. dont compare her with the other daughter with who you get along well (as that may unknowning to you be considered a threat to the her.) \nI advise this to my mom whenever I get a chance to talk to her. We are 3 sisters and she cant get through to the middle one but with me she is fine, and many times she unintentionally compares her to me. presently She has stopped doing that and her relation with my sis has improved. \nBest of luck though, be friends! they are pretty grown up with their own family and somewhere in their heatrs they look for a friend in  parents

While having an active imagination is no crime and certainly shouldn't alarm you as a parent, you might consider what these friends provide for your daughter.  It seems like she has experienced some instability in life right now and if she is feeling detached from her father, then she may be concerned that you, her mother might also unexpectedly leave or disappear.  She is only 3 and is limited on her ability to communicate and understand these abandoning feelings and may have created an abundance of imaginary friends because she knows she can count on them not leaving.  She may not be able to say, "Mommy, are you going to leave too?"  But she can create a fantasy of dolls and imaginary friends that support and validate her feelings.  So while I wouldn't say that you should seek clinical therapy for your 3 year old, I would suggest that a sincere heart to heart with your daughter, and some invested mommy time, you could really help your daughter reconnect to the real supports in her life, you!\n\nSuggestion:  Find a way to validate her feelings.  Having a drawing party!  Allow her to draw, and invite her imaginary friends to draw also.  Sit at a table that is age appropriate for her (or sit on the floor) and allow her to describe to you the drawings of all the friends, as well as her own drawing.  You might suggest to her drawing a few pictures.  Maybe one of "our new house". Have another drawing of "our family", and her school/friends, room or house.  You will learn a lot from her and it will allow her practice in expressing her feelings to you, her mom, rather than dolls and friends. Find age appropriate ways of bonding with your daughter.  I would love to hear what you try and how it turns out! Good Luck! emailjacquisoon@yahoo.com

Has it ever occured to you that maybe she is different than that, like she has her own personal problems or even thinks she is overshadowed by you? Consider her life and why she would be mean like that. Maybe she is just lonely and is trying to hard.

My 14 year old daughter, who I feel is a normal, well adjusted teenager sometimes has an attitude, is sometimes taken as rude, but is really not being so. She will say things like, "Gah Mom, you're just so off the chain, DUH!"  and while I know what she means, but some of my friends take her as rude. She's a straight A student, is on the Varsity tennis team, is on the Pom Squad, has gorgeous long blond hair that is dyed bright pinkish-purple, her navel is pierced, and she sometimes dyes her hair black and goes with the Goth look.  She is not allowed to have a boyfriend and I know where she is 24/7... when I call the land line she is supposed to be at, she is there... I don't go for checking on her with cell phones.  She gets pouty when she doesn't get her way, and whines and mopes, just like all kids do, but if I squirt her with a water bottle, she straightens up.  I think for the most part, teenagers are good kids, they are just taken on face value and are not really understood.   I was an 80s kid, so maybe I just see kids differently, I know what's under those grungy clothes.. just kids being kids.

My ex-husband does see my daughter (3yr) but definitely not as often as I would like him to and esp not as much as my lil girl would like to see or hear from him for that matter. She has said things to me like "Daddy doesn't like me" and other random comments that should never come out of a child's mouth esp at that age. It literally breaks my hear to her think such things and it drives me crazy for the fact that I am powerless to do anything about it. I have made several attempts to tell him that he needs to spend more time with her and even told him what shes been saying...The girl has called my dog Daddy and even one of my female friends...You would think that would've been a wake up call to him but it wasnt. So I always tell her that he loves her very much and that he's just at work right now and would be here to see her if he could. I know it's a lie (well at least that he's at work and coming to see her) but the child does not need to know he choices and actions and if he continues on this path, she will learn it on her own in time. Don't say anything to a child this young about his father not wanting to see him. It will just hurt him and he doesnt deserve that. As much as it will probably kill you to do, just say positive things and at least for now make this child really believe that his father does love him and is there for him at least in spirit. It is your job to make this child happy and I know it is a tough burden to put up a facade to your lil one for someone who doesn't deserve this child's love or attention but it is his father and you have to do what's right. Once again I am deeply sorry that you are going through this and I am esp sorry that your son has to go through this too. I sincerely hope that his father comes around for him and stops being a selfish inconsiderate asshole. Good luck and please be strong not only for you, but for your son...youre all he's got and you need to be the better person in this.:)

sounds like she has some serious issues.\n\nand she let herself get fooled - by herself.\n\nthere are people of any gender, any preference, any background like that.

I have three grandkids, number four on the way. the eldest is twelve; she lives with her father, her mum is my oldest daughter. She left her with her dad five years ago and went away to work. Her dad is a muslim, and up to then, my daughter had reared her as a christian. I have no problem with this, her dad is a lovely, kind man and I have a great relationship with him . The problem is, the child is totally confused as to what the rules are as regards religion, dress code, behaviour codes, etc. This is leading to a backlash from her as she is starting to rebel. My heart goes out to her as she has been pushed around a lot during her short life. I have considered offering to have her live with me; I know she's happy in my house when she visits, but I don't know how her mum or dad would see this.

Please dont assume your daughter is a slow learner, maybe shes just not being challanged. Please never use that term around her......please, you could be setting her up for failure before she starts, and dont allow any one else to label her in that way , in any event start with self esteem building techniques do small amounts of work and praise her on how smart she is positive re-enforcement works wonders.
