[QUOTE="Christy, post: 170929, member: 225"] What a stessful situation. I know how you feel, our playdates often go something like that. It's like trying to diffuse a bomb and you are so afraid that you will touch the wrong wires! It is always easier to figure out what you could have done after the fact so don't beat yourself up. I am sure you are feeling many emotions about the, "I wish you were dead" comment but I think she was probably still angry and trying to get you upset. Keep a record of behaviors including things like this and go back to the psychiatrist or another psychiatrist and ask for evaluations and answers. It seems bleak to picture the future with the way things are going at the moment but I will say that now with a diagnosis for our son (his is BiPolar (BP) along with the ADHD), I do not feel as much anger towards him when he acts so outrageous and I don't blame myself as much for not being a more effective parent. I am able to think more along the lines of, "what can we do to help him overcome some off these behaviors? How can we structure his environment to prevent some of the behaviors? What medication adjustments need to be made to help elimainagte some of the behaviors? What behavioral intervention might help? It still gets personal at times and I still want him to be responsible for his behaviors but I have more empathy for him because I have a better undersatnding of his disorder. Hope this makes sense. Sorry for the stressful, hurtful experience. (((hugs))) Christy [/QUOTE]
