[QUOTE="bran155, post: 167074"] Hello and welcome. You will love being a part of this wonderful website, everyone is so kind and supportive and you will learn alot. First let me say this: THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!!! It took me a very long time to believe that for myself. I blamed myself for years and carried so much guilt, I still struggle with that from time to time. I guess it is a natural reaction, after all we are the parents and who else can we blame? You are not alone, everyone of us knows exactly what you are going through and believe me it helps to connect with people who live similar lives. Parenting a difficult child (gift from God) is no easy task, it never ends and is so overwhelming and mentally and physically draining. My difficult child is very similar to yours, she is extremely verbally abusive and has been violent towards me as well as other members of my family. I find that when I engage in the madness with her it just escalates, when I am able to control myself and remain calm the rage ends much quicker.
