[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 109674, member: 1722"] Hi Sadlady and welcome. My difficult child (Duckie) will be seven in less than a month. I understand why everything feels so hopeless, but it really isn't yet. Your daughter still has time to grow and mature. I think the hardest thing for me is losing my sense of control of my own life, it's very disconcerting. I've had to force myself to carve out time for me so that I can recharge. This has meant my husband has needed to stop playing ostrich and pitch in a lot more than the typical husband. But that's okay because we are both her parents. I also have to agree with Fran, corporal punishment doesn't seem to help our kids but rather makes them more angry. Try picking up a copy of The Explosive Child and see if his methods help your family. It helped mine. Things aren't always great, but they are better. [/QUOTE]
