[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 506830, member: 1233"] Given all that is going on, please please please at least consider calling 911 for transport to a psychiatric hospital if she gets violent. Safety must be the first priority. She could end up really hurting someone and you don't want her to have to live with the knowledge that she caused harm to someone. Have you read "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene and "What Your Explosive Child is Trying to Tell You" by Dr. Doug Riley? The things you are doing are not effective. These books are amazing. their methods may seem counter-intuitive, but they WORK and they have worked regardless of what the diagnosis is. Kids do well when they are ABLE. Most of us operate on the idea that kids do well when they WANT to, but it just isn't true. These books can help a LOT. It is so hard to not blow up at our difficult children. I used to be really really bad about this. I read a book called "She's Gonna Blow! Real Help for Moms Dealing with Anger" by Julie Ann Barnhill. Women are not generally taught much about anger as we grow up. I sure wasn't, and it is a very common thing in our society. This book did more than tell me it was okay and natural and show me how to deal with it. It helped me figure out when it was happening long before I blew up. I learned to recognize the physical signs of anger early enough to deal with them and prevent the blowup. it does have a religious slant, but didn't get "in your face" about it - at least I didn't think so. A friend who is Muslim also found the book helpful - she just ignored the religious part of it. Amazon and other sites sell the book used, which is a great $ saver, of course. [/QUOTE]
