[QUOTE="lovingmum96, post: 361929"] thanks for the hugs, which I really need. Last night difficult child kept us up until 12:30 a.m. (screaming until 11:30 a.m.) ; husband had to stay home from work, ds begged his sister to let him sleep and I slept with my door locked and had to work on about 4 hours sleep. I made some calls this a.m. and we are going to have an initial evaluation next week (emergency evaluation). The intake sw told me to call the psychiatric ER if that happens again, at least for advice. So sad. Can't believe this is happening to us and difficult child but I hope this will be a way to get her some help. If she wants to live with ex, fair enough, but not under these circumstances. Poor kid, trapped in some kind of hell. Yes, she follows me around too and I remember eating in the bathroom since it's the only room I can lock the door (that she doesn't pick). If my ex refuses medications, I'll take him to court. We are not medical experts and I won't allow him to deny her the help she needs (largely because of him). thanks for the idea of the play therapy :) Today we did retail therapy which always works. I didn't impose any consequences because frankly I think she will erupt any time now and I think that I just need to concentrate on de escalating the situtation. She will be really mad with me when we go for the evaluation but since things are escalating I would really feel negligent if I wasn't able to do something. She doesn't really seem tuned into the level of her behavior and "forgets" the swearing, threatening etc which must have something to do with what ever is going on with her. So I'm seeking advice from a therapist for husband and I (how to handle the situation best) and thank good ness we have an initial evaluation. I am sorry you have this situation too -- I see your difficult child is 11, and ours in 12. The severity really escalated with the onset of her periods in the last 6 months to the point where it simply has to be addressed (the sw said "sounds like you are frightened of difficult child" and I said "yes" ....truthfully). Children do well if they can and while it's so hard to remember that as a parent when difficult child is pushing the buttons, it's so much easier when the kids are not yours (I never get "angry" with the kids at school -- just a problem to be fixed, so different when it's at home!). thank you and good luck [/QUOTE]
