DD is still very clingy and attached to me. She will be 12 in a couple of months and still will turn down invitations and offers unless I can go along.

Missybee - she's always been what I called my "velcro child".
I had to come back to add that
Yes, for the most part school is okay.
Even my own mother has pretty much said that her problem is my fault. She tried to use nice words by saying that I'm "too good of a mother".
In fact people have asked us both where our mother is....... (I do look young not to brag)
But wow.... We enjoy spending time together and do alot of things together. I thought I was doing a good job. I know where she is and what she is doing all the time. She does not get into trouble or anything. But thats fine.
If you ever need to talk. Just holler. My name is Deanna and its great to meet you.
Like I said anytime you need a vent, I am here. We should get our girls together that would be a hoot. take care.

My 7-yo had some anxiety issues last year, and this was one of them. His seemed milder than your daughter's, actually, but was combined with some other issues. We took him to a child psychologist for awhile and it seemed to help a lot. Therapy or no, I think you are doing the right thing by taking this seriously and trying to solve the problem.
