[QUOTE="lovingmum96, post: 363652"] difficult child's been having a much better week -- but I'm dreading Friday when we go for the evaluation. I feel sad having to describe some of her violent behaviors, irritability and mood swings .... always looking for the good days and I'm really thanking God I've seen a glimpse of her good self this week. I hope she doesn't shut down because of the evaluation. Ex has filled her head with all kind of reasons not to consider medications. Yes, I could certainly share with her (and have) that medications or any treatment would allow her to choose her emotions but it's very hard when you have someone on the other end blaming me essentially. If only difficult child could feel the love coming her way and my determination to help her despite some pretty tough challenges. Sometimes only prayer will help. husband and I do go occasionally to a therapist and on her suggestion I tried medications for ADHD (having extreme trouble concentrating....but that could be because not a single day is predictable, just maybe :) ). DIdn't work -- I felt awful. I've also asked her bff's mom to talk to her about it as well (her husband is a pediatrician and she is an admin at my difficult child's school so she can share that "other children" are on medications and doing fine) I don't really object to the idea of an evaluation., but I don't think it would necessarily help. It's certainly something to keep in mind and perhaps discuss. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
