[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 208680, member: 805"] Hi Meg and welcome to the board! I'm glad you are here with us! Blending the family can be tough on a family of all pcs - add the difficult child factor and it's often much, much tougher. Accepting a new authority figure is difficult. Seeing your parent with another partner is often confusing to kids - especially really young ones. Additionally, sometimes we really don't know what the affect of our decisions will be on our kids. She could be reacting to what you and her daddy are going through. Often the younger kids don't have the verbal skills to put into words how they feel - their confusion, etc., - so they act out. Your medical history could be playing a really big part in what your daughter is going through. I think it's great that you and fiance have gotten the family into counseling. However, it may be time for a more complete evaluation for your daughter so you can determine whether it's more than a reaction to family dynamics. I would also find a copy of The Explosive Child, by Ross Greene. You can order one through the Amazon link here on the site, or check your local library for a copy. It's a fabulous book and one of the first things we usually recommend here on the site. Again, glad you found your way to us. Sharon [/QUOTE]
