[QUOTE="busywend, post: 409993, member: 391"] Welcome! I, too, took away Halloween and a birthday party. I felt like the worst mom in the world, too. When I realized that taking those things away did nothing to improve the behaviors, I stopped taking away what I felt was a little bit of normal & fun in an otherwise troubled childhood that she would look back on. I think there comes a point when you sit back and look at what you have tried and realize that traditional parenting is not going to work for this kid. It might for your other children, but not this one. So, get creative and look at the situation in a different way. Think of things that you normally would not ever entertain as a way to parent. Sometimes just changing things up give you a few months of peace and then you have to find new things to do again, but heck a few months of good is better than none. I really think you need more than this psychiatrist. And I agree with an evaluation. I do not think you have the right diagnosis yet. Just a gut feeling. [/QUOTE]
