[QUOTE="Christy, post: 168997, member: 225"] Welcome to the board. I'm glad you found us. It is good that you recognize that you are feeling overwhelmed and while money may be tight, a break from work will take one thing off your plate. Is your daughter in some kind of summer program? If you are both home all day together, things may be more difficult for you both. Were there any follow up services other than counseling provided when your daughter left the group home? We do not have any family in our area and my son recently qualified for intensive behavioral services from a county agency. He has a worker that takes him 12 hours per week and works on his goals. This small amount of respite has been a godsend for me. I hope you can find an opportunity to get some time for yourself and perhaps when you are feeling some relief then you can work on building a better relationship with your daughter. You have been very frank about your feelings towards your daughter and while they are understandable, the "unwanted" feeling could be having a profound effect on your daughter's behavior which creates a vicious cycle because the more she acts out the more the feelings are justified. I have not read all the posts you've received but by now someone has probably suggest reading the Explosive Child by Ross Greene. It will help you to reframe conflict situations and better deal with your daughter. I wish you the very best in getting help for your family, Christy [/QUOTE]
