My name is Amy. I am 32 years old. My husband is 38 and we have two children. Our oldest is a boy who is almost 13 and our daughter is 8.
My daughter is the one with ODD. She was diagnosed right before her 7th birthday. She has had these "tantrums" since she was 9 months old. We put her in therapy last January and she seemed to do really well. husband and I read the book 1-2-3 Magic and followed it. The rules helped for a month or so and then we were back to square one.
daughter has started becoming more and more violent since that time. Last Thursday, she got ds's baseball bat after me in the car and almost hit me in the head but my ds stopped her. She was mad because I wouldn't stop at the store and buy her some stickers.
She frequently screams for 3 or 4 hours straight. Life with her is so exhausting. We have another appointment with the therapist tomorrow morning. I hope we can find some answers. I had her blood tested for all the regular things that could be wrong with her last week and everything was normal.
My daughter acts just fine around everyone but husband, me, and ds.
Any advice, help or anything you can give is greatly appreciated.
