Did she have a head injury? If so, it might be worth it to have her assessed. Brain trauma can lead to a variety of baffling behaviors and require professional help. Symptoms include depression, moodiness, short-term memory loss, inability to sequence and inability to concentrate, to name a few. This type of injury (and its resulting symptoms) is common also among many of our returning war vets (e.g. explosions) and long-term football players (multiple hits). One of the most tragic outputs is the individual's inability to maintain steady employment. My daughter was in a car accident in high school and was unconscious for 30 minutes. To look at her today, you'd never know she was in an accident; however, her story sounds alot like your step-daughter's. Especially frustrating for her is that she can remember that she used to be able to do things prior to the accident that she cannot do today.
