[QUOTE="JLady, post: 223929, member: 6439"] One thing my counselor often tells me is that if you are doing something and it isn't working, stop doing it. You are frustrating yourself and the child. One of the hardest things I have to do is to walk away from children when I cannot handle it anymore. I couldn't imagine being with them 24/7. Is there anyway she could do regular school or is the online school her only option? I think regular school would be good for both of you. She has a chance to see others and you get a break. We are products of our environment. One thing the psychiatrist told me yesterday was that my son "needs" to be around kids his own age. I often have the same negative thoughts about this is my fault. Although we have recently had a diagnosis on my son, I've had 7 years of feeling like I haven't been a good enough mother to him because of the way he acts. The older children and others say things like "why don't you do something about him". It is so hurtful and they have no idea the chaos it causes inside my own mind. Sending hugs your way. I hope you get some relief soon. [/QUOTE]
