[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 566578, member: 15473"] difficult child was diagnosed back in kindergarden or 1st grade with ADD and ODD. We were having issues with her not paying attention and with her getting so frustrated that she was unable to manage any type of correction. IE: you did this math problem wrong and need to redo it.....the teacher taught me to do it that way.....you dont know how to do math mom.....frustration....screaming....banging hands on table type of thing. It got to the point that giving any correction caused a meltdown. She has slowly grown out of the ADD but the ODD has continued. She has refused therapy and even when I did get her to go she was paranoid that they were telling me everything and then would refuse to speak with them. Over the years it has basically made it impossible to have a mother daughter relationship and I am to the point where I dont engage unless I have to. Dont get me wrong I know so many of you deal with the law and so much worse! That is why I hate to complain here. But now she has started using a cord to choke herself and relieve her pain. That was my final straw I took her to the ER and she is now seeing a therapist one on one approximately every 2 weeks. Since then this has gotten more difficult and now her anger towards me is expanding to her sister a easy child. The easy child has recently been diagnosed with anxiety issues and after one of our more painful nights with difficult child I found out the easy child is cutting herself to handle the anger. easy child has been seeing a therapist as well to deal with having to handle difficult child's anger. I held it all together until the easy child got thrown into the mix. Now I am angry! It is one thing for my own child to verbally abuse me it is another to abuse the easy child to the point that she is now having issues that could affect her for life. [/QUOTE]
