[QUOTE="hopeful2, post: 151630, member: 5159"] Thank you all for your responses. I agree that her behavior is emotionally driven. She's been in therapy for a while with different types, and we've started with a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)/ODD therapist. Just had another psychiatric assessment today who suggested some light medications to support the therapy. I've got a neurpsych evaluation scheduled for late Sept, but he had referred to the psychiatric evaluation today thru another doctor to help bridge the gap. It's just gone on so long. She was kicked out of one preschool for wetting (they wouldn't let me use pullups) and subsequent schools have been very patient with multiple clothes changes a day. But now it is truly impacting her schooling (disruptions), field trips, and the hygene issues are a problem with shared furniture, carpets, etc. I try not to react, but I'm a single parent with lots of pressure (like others) and I'm only human. When I don't react enough after a while, that's when she goes to the next level, then the next, then the next. At some point she's bound to get me to react - there's only so much pee and then poop a person can take. Therapist suggested a respit care referral who could focus on that, but he believes supportive medications can help us break through whatever the barrier is for her. Then we can really get somewhere with the behavior therapy for both of us. We had a pretty good weekend (rare these days) and had some truly touching moments to talk about our love for each other and letting me be her Mom; to trust in me. I think she wants the break-through, just doesn't know how to scale, break thru, let go or whatever it is she needs to do to this wall. I truly appreciate that there is a site like this to allow for exploration, sharing of info, and just knowing others can relate. I'm so tired of people giving me advice or saying I'm not tough enough (if they only knew!) or that she's just a normal kid. They truly don't see what goes on behind our door. If I can just keep balanced... [/QUOTE]
