[QUOTE="nvts, post: 183124, member: 3814"] Hi Hoping! Welcome to a really great group. Don't feel guilty about what's been going on. We tend to expect kids to "outgrow" whatever is going on because kids "always adjust". Our kids don't. I agree that she should no longer be alone with any of the kids. She's dangerous. This is going to sound harsh, and it's not meant to be. The next she goes into a full-time rage, she needs to be hospitalized. She's a danger to herself and others. Personal opinion. If she hasn't got a diagnosis, you'll need one soon so that you're better prepared to deal with her issues. I would suggest a neuropsychologist, which you can usually find in a teaching or childrens hospital. This is basically hours of testing done over a few days (outpatient) where they can really take a full look at what's going on with her. MOST IMPORTANT: you've GOT to take care of yourself. If you don't, you're not going to be any good to any of the kids, including difficult child. I'm so sorry that you're going through all of this and are this far along in your pregnancy (Congratulations by the way!! :happy:) . I know you're in the "I'm exhausted 24/7 stage and this whole thing just takes the cake! Trust in the fact that you're among friends here. We're all going through a lot of these things, so you'll gain a lot of experience from the gang. I'd also like to recommend "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It's an easy read (not a bunch of techno-speak) and there are even parts that made me laugh because at times, it seemed that he was writing the book from my living room! Let us know how you're doing!
