Mary had many meltdowns as a child, especially at preschool & Sunday school as well s family gatherings. She just ran off & curled up in a ball & cried. When she was a baby she screamed when any stranger looked at her. Her meltdown did not go down in numbers until she was put on Zoloft. This is one reason I had to homeschool her. Her therapist does not believe me when I told him about this. He still thinks her dad did this to her. Yes, he was instrumental in making her anxieties worse, but she always had them. She always had a difficult time keeping friends. She had adult vocabulary starting at age 4. Now she has amazing insight into many things like behaviors, movie & books etc. She still is unable to keep a friend in person, but has a couple good friends online that she video chats with. I've said "Hi" to them. They are highly articulate as Mary is.
