[QUOTE="JulienSam, post: 166513, member: 4575"] Munimama-- Welcome! I'm glad you found the site, and hope that if nothing else, you come to realize that you're not alone in parenting a difficult child, and there are others here to support you. What does your DS's dad have to say about her behavior? Does he see a problem? What about her pediatrician? I know my husband & I hoped for the longest time that Sam's challenging behaviors were just a phase -- something all kids go through. But reality finally sunk in for us; unfortunately it's taken some convincing of other family members, but there are some who really seem to finally get that there's a problem. For me, antidepressants have been a tremendous help (I suffered from depression long before Sam was born), and in surviving Sam, I've found it absolutely necessary to get time to myself. I've even hired a neighborhood teenager to babysit while I go upstairs to read a book or just relax. I know exactly how you feel about never knowing when the explosions will start... but The Explosive Child can help you start seeing patterns or triggers, so you can then better prepare yourself for the onslaught. Sending you a ((HUG)) across the internet -- Julie [/QUOTE]
