Divorce Support Forums: Just do not know what it is

[quote]Jada I agree, but she has had two psychological evals that said she is fine. Are psychological evaluations just a waste of time and money or were they looking for the wrong thing? [/quote]

They are a waste of time as people can usually pass them unless they are really bad.

My aunt used to be a foster mom. She's always been narcissistic. And has passed all psychological tests. Until she got older and more mentally unbalanced. She would never pass the test now (and didn't, that's how she got diagnosed as narcissistic). It just depends on how well they can play the system.

And your ex is very good at it. Enough to pass the tests.

Unfortunately, even with a diagnosis, there isn't much you can do. My uncle (my aunt's second ex) is mentally ill. Even been diagnosed. Been in the hospital for suicide attempts. He still got unsupervised visits. It's no longer an issue since the kids are adults now.

All you can do is be there for your daughter and help her the best you can. One day, her relationship with her mother will be up to her. There isn't a court that will force an adult to visit their parents. Or even talk to them.
