[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 140979, member: 3072"] At least thats what the psychologist with in home supports thinks. Her words were something like...she thinks that difficult child probably overhears too much negative talk about her and thats what accounts for a great deal of her behavior. She also feels that we are too negative in the way that we treat her and don't have enough empathy for her.:grrr: We try as hard as possible to NOT talk about difficult child in front of her...IF she overhears, its because we didn't know she was in the room. Also usually when we have meetings concerning difficult child, I specifically ask that she not be present because I don't like to talk about the negatives in front of her. I'm sure that we don't always have the best attitude towards her but its another thing we try hard to watch. Her moods control our lives and has since she was very small....she is a time consuming child....can't begin to count all the behavior strategies, medications, psychiatrists, clinicians, therapists, neurologists, etc...that we have seen. She is now in weekly counseling because she asked me to set her up with someone. I also have time after she gets home from school that is just hers so that she can talk to me or play games with me. I fixed her up her own room in the attic. I could go on and on and although I agree that we are not perfect, she is treated VERY well and with respect. I shouldn't be surprised because we get this kind of comment all the time......the psychiatrist at the hospital told us we spoiled her. Depending on who we talk to, we're either "meanies" or "spoilers"...so in other words, we **** at parenting and the fact that my other kids don't act that way accounts for nothing:tearinghair: Needless to say, next week will probably be our last in home support meeting and our case manager will be attending. I think we'll take a little break from services for a while....we're all worn out and who knows, maybe a break will be good for difficult child too...I just dont' know.:sad: Thanks for the rant [/QUOTE]
