[QUOTE="alh2384, post: 576539, member: 15875"] Hi, I am new to this site. I registered because I need support and advice. I am an emotional wreck. I am a single mom, 28, in school full time. My ex has joint custody and gets daughter every other weekend. Otherwise I do everything on my own. He thinks our daughter is fine and is just "acting out" because he says I dont know how to parent. My daughter is 9. She has always had meltdowns, but in the past 8 months has become aggressive. She now punches me, bites me, kicks me, slaps, pinches, spits in my face, throws things at me or in general, breaks things, has put holes in our walls and took scissors and made what look like claw marks on my bedroom door...the list goes on. She says she hates me, I'm the worst mom in the world, why can't she have a normal life, and calls me names like twerp, brat, stupid. She has extreme anxiety. She sometimes acts like she can't breathe and will take very deep breaths every 30 seconds. She has lots of "tummy-achs". She cannot be alone and does not like her bedroom door closed, ever. She is always turning all the lights in the house on even during the day and has many irrational fears, like being scared of the sound of the water in the shower. Im sure I'm leaving things out....but tonight Im exhausted. I took her to a childrens psycologist who had her draw pictures and talk about her feelings. After 5 sessions like this and her behavior was only getting worse, I started looking elsewhere. I then found a childrens behavior specialist at a place that comes to your home. They come three times a week. She diagnosed my daughter with O.D.D. However, all she has doen is have her do lots of "paperwork" type exercises. She has shown very little improvement with this program as well after 3 months and the anxiety is worse. I have been researching and researching and I think she also has A.D.D. She cannot remember directions, forgets everything, is constantly talking, must always be the center of attention, has lots of little habits like biting her nails. Tonight she hit me in the back hard and said I deserved it. I am just so unhappy and feel hopeless and alone. I want to help her, but what I else can I do? I believe she DOES have ADD, ODD, and moderate to severe anxiety. Perhaps even other disorders. I have seriously been considering medication at this point. Please post and give any advice. I need help.....Thank u [/QUOTE]
