[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 360027, member: 1550"] Well, the first thing you can do is get her a better evaluation so that you know what your dealing with (and not just guessing). I recommend a neuropsychologist. Until you know why she does what she does, it's hard to really know (for us and for you) how to handle her. Most of our "differently wired" kids do not respond to traditional behavioral therapy methods. The neuropsychologist is what I'd do first...try hard to nail down what disorders she has...and you won't get that from a therapist or a counselor who comes to the house. You'll probably just get told you are a "bad parent" which is NOT true. Secondly, about SO. I assume he knew you were a package deal. You may have to just let him go as your child comes first. If he can't cope with it, then he may be better not around. Otherwise, maybe he'd go to family counseling with you. I do suggest that as well as getting a neuropsychologist evaluation for your daughter. ODD doesn't seem adequate to explain her behavior. Good luck, whatever you decide to do :) [/QUOTE]
