[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 206865, member: 3626"] Hi and welcome. Someone will come along with the usual questions, so this is just a greeting and to let you know you're not alone. First, her behavior around you is in fact all your fault. She's knows you will love her regardless of what she does, so she's safe doing whatever around you. Unfortunately for your mother in law, she now feels completely loved and safe there, too. For some of our kids, they can keep it somewhat together around others, but not at home. They've held everything in too long and it all has to come out somewhere and that somewhere is frequently at home. I'm sorry. Another vote for The Explosive Child. It really does help you see how our kids' minds work and gives you some tips that are truly helpful. Take what you want from it, leave the rest. To survive the journey with your daughter, your husband has got to step up and help. You both have to work together to help her. Maybe your mother in law can help on getting him to see you can't do this alone, especially not with other kids in the house. Definitely try to get her a neuropsychologist evaluation. If there's a Children's Hospital near you, they can usually do it. Other aveues are a psychiatric hospital with a pediatric unit. If nothing else, find a good clinic and see what they have to offer. The more you can figure out the whys, the more you'll be able to treat. Don't blame yourself for her behavior. Don't do the what ifs or kicking of yourself for mistakes in the past. More than likely, she's the way she is because of chemical or neurological disorder. She has no control of this at present and neither do you. As a parent, you've done the absolute best you can. It shows in just the little you've written. You love her and you've tried every trick at your disposal. Hopefully, The Explosive Child will help you a little more and we'll be here to help as much as we can. [/QUOTE]
