[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 421352, member: 11001"] Oh there is nothing harder than seeing our kids suffer. I know about the " Our kids, for the most part look "normal" from the outside." My daughter will present well for sometime. People have a hard time accepting that she is not ok. As for wanting to rip her head off, this is normal. I don't even worry about what other people(the audience) think anymore-if we can get out we do, if not we do the best possible thing and head for another eisle! I dont know if this is an idea for you or not but it's how we handle our difficult child when we go shopping. She gets X amount of money or gets to choose 3 foods at the grocery store (and yes even now at age 16 because she is so demanding)-that is all. It took about 2 or 3 tries and now she doesn't dare throw a fit or ask for even a dime more because that means she gets nothing. When she later whines about needing shampoo or hair spray-I just say,"Oh that is too bad because you could have bought those when we were at the store yesterday,how will you get by?" You have to stick to your guns because they will try to wheedle away at you. We don't ever give her the money, we stay in control (she'd hide it and spend it on running away most likely), maybe your girl could hold onto it?? It works for us. She has to think about what she really wants, needs and can afford. Hugs and keep up hope because we are the only ones to transmit that to our kids! [/QUOTE]
