Hi. I can feel your frustration at the situation and I'm sorry you are going through this.

Are you satisfied that she has been diagnosed and medicated correctly? To make it easier on yourself, as well as helping her, you may want to get a second opinion. Certain medications make violent-prone kids even worse. ADHD medications can be bad if your child has a mood disorder. So can antidepressants. You don't list her medications, but that could help us.

Has she ever seen a neuropsychologist? If you live in the Chicago area, I know where I'd take my child for help (I used to live in the Chicago burbs). If you are interested, PM me and I'll give you my suggestion. Obviously, the help she is getting now is not working.

Do you have any relatives who can take her off your hands at times? What about her biological father? Also, remember you have a serious mental health issue yourself...are you taking good care of yourself? That is so important. If you don't take care of yourself, you can't help anyone else either.
