[QUOTE="P-nut2004, post: 421659, member: 11740"] Hi everyone, I just joined today after hours of searching for a site like this. My difficult child is my youngest child (7) & is currently running my household. She is diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Temper Dysregulation Disorder (which P-Dr says is the new 'childhood bipolar') and auditory to verbal processing issues. I deal with constant tantrums, stealing, lying (generally for no reason), hoarding food & sharp objects, and general defiance and disregard for rules on a daily basis. She still wets the bed and has accidents during the day so she wears pads to school. In general she cannot be left unattended for more than a few minutes. I was previously diagnosed as bi-polar, recently re-diagnosed as PTSD and I'm still un-medicated because I have no insurance & can't afford medications. My husband is clueless & thinks my issues are imaginary and difficult children issues can be fixed with proper parenting which is of course my job. I'm losing my mind and have no support. I feel like difficult children issues are somehow my fault whether it be biologically or otherwise. At the moment I am so frustrated I can't even compose my thoughts to write this post. difficult child has a p-dr & a therapist she sees weekly, she is on concerta, zoloft & risperdal but the only difference we have seen is in her behavior at school. I am truly at my wits end, falling apart every night once I get her in bed (although she is currently not sleeping much at all & gets up several times a night) I could continue on and probably write a book but hopefully this is enough for someone to give me some feedback, advice etc. Im a very open person so don't hesitate to ask any questions you feel are pertinent to the situation. Thank you for taking the time to read my ranting :) [/QUOTE]
