Hi I am new . My six year old daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD and conductdisorder in Oct. I have always new she has issues but just kept telling my self that she is just a strong willed child. She has not had a easy life and has delt with more than most adults can handle she was sexually abused in a child care for atleast two years then was a witness to a domestica abuse situation betwenn my ex and I. Now that I thought things were getting better she seemed to be managing her anger better and not being violent to other children out of now where she gets in a fight with a 3 year old over a toy and is found chocking the three year old. I know that she isn't at a 6 year old level. Its not the way she handled her anger that has me upset its the fact that the 3 year Learning Disability (LD) was my niece and I live with them at the moment because i was terminated from my job due to having to take so much time off for her appts. What has me upset is the fact that I was told I had to put her in a group home or give her to her biologival dad or send her to live with my parents or i had to move out. I felt like I was being asked to drop a dog off at the pound. She is my daughter and i have fought for her this long and will continue to there is no way on earth that I will give her up. I know they don't understand her or her diagnosis, but I feel the request is way out of line. What she did was wrong yes and is being delt with at therapy and witht he cae manager and her social worker. I am finding it hard to talk to other people about this because I know they listen but don't really understand what I am going through. I have worked with children for years with these diagnosis, but it is so diffrent living it.
