[QUOTE="Jena, post: 220442, member: 4514"] Hi I"m sorry you had a rough night, it isn't easy. Wow, I wish I had the answer for that one!! sheesh Let me ask the medication she is on, im not at all familiar with it. Do you feel and the pyschdoc feel it is working? Is she currently in therapy at all? My difficult child will be ten in february, she has yet to outwardly hit me with something or her hands yet she pushes me and has a few times. She's more of a verbal one, and when she's in a particular mood if i look at her the wrong way i get the complete utter nastiness. I tell difficult child for now, to punch a pillow. Don't stomp your feet, or hit a wall or slam a door or hit your sister, punch the sh*t out of your pillow. You guys may be past pillows, yet how much room do you have or space where you live??? I was just thinking? I don't know why but punching bags keep coming to my mind. I dont' have the space or a basement to utilize yet if i did that's what i'd hang quite honestly. The space thing is a good idea, it really is. Yet she may not be able to control whatever emotion she is feeling and the anger building up on her to remove herself for a cool off period. What if you just said when you are speaking to me like that, or in that way I will no longer speak to you? And you get up and leave wherever you are. I know, you shouldn't have to i feel the same way, yet if you were to remove yourself that would be in a sense taking control of the situation and maybe avoiding further upset?? Just a thought. I hope you have a good rest of the night. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
