You always hear of adult survivors of abuse, Can children recover and heal from abuse? Are there support groups for children? My daughter is 11 and was abused at a young age before I adpoted her, her behavior and aggression gets worse everyday. It is clear this is a manifestion of what happened to her, why do the therapists and Dr.'s want to treat the behavior and drug her instead of focusing on what happened to her. I am not a Dr. I am a mother and just am curious, does my daughter have to wait until she is a adult to recover and heal? I don't see anyone trying to deal with the reason she is angry instead of the anger itself. How do I help my daughter.? I want her to heal before she is a teen and things get much worse for her. (Drugs, sex, self-harm, jail etc.) She deserves better than a predetermined role for a victim. Any answers?
