Greetings everyone, I hope someone will respond to this, I am new to your site, and I have been searching endlessly for some help. I have two children, my son is 6 yrold and my daughter is 8 yrold. From Sept. of 2011 till Nov. my daughter was hospitalized 4 times at different institutions. She is violent, her rages are unbearable, she becomes dangerous to herself and everyone around her. She is unsafe in cars as she frequently tries to throw herself from them while I am driving. She has run away twice. She has broken my bones without any remorse. She's been diagnosed as Bipolar, Schizoaffective-Bipolar, ADD, Depressed, and most recently "unspecified mood disorder with ODD and conduct disorder". She on and has been on every medication. under the sun. She sees her doctor every week, and a weekly therapist. We have Intensive In-Home therapy which is here 4 times a week, and we are being hounded by DSS for the second time since she was last hospitalized. I am exhausted, I've been up all night tonight trying to find some help before I lose my kids or she hurts someone. If anyone out there has any advice on coping with a rage while you are in public with the child, please let me know. I just want to help her, but my family is being destroyed, and Im tired of being her punching bag. Punishments DO NOT WORK, timeouts, spankings, taking things away, even when she was hospitalized she made friends and had a blast so that wasnt even like being in trouble. Any advice is greatly appreciated, we are hanging on by a thread-Thanks
