[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 107956"] Welcome to the site. [img]:flower:[/img] You're absolutely right in that you shouldn't be bearing the brunt of this. Even if she were your biological child, it's important that everyone is on the same page. Now that you have a little one that needs you, it's even more important. I recommend the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. Get your husband to read it, too. Is the referral to the pediatrician to get you a referral to a mental health professional? Generally, pediatricians don't have the expertise to diagnosis (diagnose) these types of illnesses/disorders. We recommend, usually, a multi-disciplinary evaluation and/or a pediatric neuropsychological evaluation, but I'm not sure what resources you have. At the very least, I would recommend a pediatric psychiatrist (psychiatrist). More will be along in the morning (I'm assuming you're in the UK?) to offer their support and ideas. In the meantime, pick up that book, encourage your husband to read it too, and - most importantly - get some time for yourself. [/QUOTE]
