The way I feel about the therapy, (and I could be way off but my views on things are different than most people's) it was just a lie. And, in my opinion, a pretty creative one, at that. If she was going around sleeping with boys or destroying property or getting violent with herself or others, it'd be totally different. I'm not saying it's not disturbing, because it is and it was, but I see it as just another way of jumping up and down shouting "Mommy! Look! Look at me! Watch this mommy!" and not serious or damaging enough to warrant therapy. She wanted attention, she got it, and she owned up and showed remorse for it. Forcing her into therapy because of it will only cause further damage, in my opinion. I think it just needs to be forgotten and filed under 'Dumb things Jayna has done.' I'm keeping a really close eye on her, though, but I've always done that.
I'm glad to hear that you're dealing with stuff. Even if it took a while for you to be able to deal with losing your mom, which is devastating, I can imagine, you're doing it now and that's just great.
