[QUOTE="crazytown, post: 607836, member: 16946"] Hi, I'm new to this forum, and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 35 married to my amazing husband and we have 5 kids. The eldest 3 are mine from a previous marriage, and my second eldest, my daughter 9 years old is my "troubled" one so to say. I guess I am looking for a place where others are having the same kind of issues, and might be able to get some advise and support without being judged by those who aren't in the same situation. A little about my girl. She was actually a pretty good baby, up until she was around 2 years old. From then it has been one hell of a ride. When she was little she would be like a walking tornado... smashing things, hitting everyone, running away, hitting her head on things or hitting herself, defiant to the extreme, will not listen to any authority. When she was in primary she got into the classroom one day and painted the classroom with the craft paint, had letters home, threats of suspension and expulsion, she ran away from school, lucky to be found in the very thick bushes down the street. Constantly hits her siblings and yells at them and us (my husband and I) back chatting and spewing anger at every one. Has seen a school councilor a couple times, with not much help. I am going to take her to the doctor this week to see what help we can get. With 4 other kids life can be very stressful. At times I don't think I can cope. My ex (her father) is no help, and we are having issues with him at the moment. She has been living with her dad for the last year, but I think as of this week she might be coming back to me to live. I must admit I am scared to have her back full time, as she really upsets the other kids and hurts them. I have been really depressed over the last year which hasn't helped. I really wonder how my hubby handles all this as 3 aren't his ( he loves them like his own though). If anyone has some suggestions as to improve things I would love to hear it! Thanks in advance :) [/QUOTE]
