[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 384017, member: 805"] First of all, welcome to the site. You have found a place where you are not alone - we understand the stress our difficult children can put on marriages, family relationships, and friendships. When my difficult child was at his darkest, I didn't sleep and didn't stop eating. Have you read "The Explosive Child", by Ross Greene? It's a "must read" for new members. It can really give you some insight into "hows and whys" of this type of explosive behavior and can also help with some coping solutions. I'm not a doctor but it would stand to reason that if your daughter was suffering from SAD and you went to all the measures you did to help her, and it's only getting worse, then something else is going on. You guys removed her from school and you "stopped your life". Didn't help. I have an idea. Have you ever videotaped your daughter's meltdowns? I think I would set up the camera and have it all ready but the "go" button. Record your daughter every time she meltdowns. Do it for perhaps a week. Schedule an appointment with her psychiatrist now before your start. Take the recording to the doctor. Sometimes it is hard for others to get a true understanding of what we are living with. Glad you found us. Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
