[QUOTE="Justfour, post: 549036, member: 15155"] Ever since she was a toddler my now 13 year old has been very defiant. On the odd list of symptoms, when I first looked at it she was ten, she basically has everyone. She can be good as gold away from home or rather when other people are around like grandparents or my friends. Behind closed doors, completely different. When she goes off on one there is no reasoning with, I've tried every technique I can think off eg. Ignoring, positive praise, banning favorite items etc. she can be so lovely and sensitive at times, then within two minutes she is at the other end of the scale. She has told me she wants to stick a knife in my chest, then turned around and said, I don't know why I say these things, I want to be good. Her reactions to me saying she can't have or do something is like its the first time I've ever said no! Then big tantrum that will go on and on and if I ignore her she's horrible to her little sister to get a reaction. Sometimes I feel like I hate her which is so wrong but it's so difficult when most of the time she is like this. Im not sure where to go from here, I've just started the road of assessment for aspergers with her younger sister as she has a whole other set of problems, thankfully not bad behaviour, and I'm worried if I seek a diagnosis for her sister the doctors are gonna think there's something wrong with me! Really unsure what to do but I'm a single mum and sometimes feel so down and lonely doing all this by myself. N.B. I have an older daughter who has a different father and she was and is a perfectly well balanced neurotipical [/QUOTE]
