[QUOTE="NC Momma, post: 675280, member: 19884"] Hey there! I am also new here, but I wanted to comment. You were very open and honest with your feelings and honestly... I am worried for you as well as your daughter. You sound so very close to just breaking. Would it be a bad idea to let her stay at your mother's maybe just over Christmas break? To give yourself a break and get settled down so that you can think? I had a child with classic ADHD too and until we got her medications right, I couldn't even think and I know that you know this feeling. I also had a neighbor friend who had a daughter with ODD and yes, this child was, I don't know how to say it. Her behavior was AWFUL. My neighbor friend would get so very frustrated and in the end, she couldn't take her own emotions over the situation and she lost control and ended up hitting her child in an abusive way. We are all only human, and whether we like to admit it or not, we all have a breaking point. Please consider letting your family help you before you get to this point. As some have said, this has nothing to do with you being a bad parent and it also has nothing to do with her being a "bad" child. ADHD is a medical condition. Some of these things, whether she knows better or not, well these children can't always help their behavior; thus, the ADHD. Saying that she knows better is not always the case as her mind just doesn't work the same as someone who is "normal". I applaud you for making the appointment. As a counselor myself, I can guarantee you that a counselor is not going to think you are crazy or a bad parent. But, I do urge you to get help immediately and not to let this go any farther. When you get to feeling so frustrated, just take a minute for yourself, breathe deep, and remind yourself that she is only ten years old and she is also your little girl.
