I'm a 35 single parent to a 12 year old daughter. She has suffered from General Anxiety Disorder for about 7 years on and off, this also manifests it'self in very bad and often violent behaviour. We are going through a particularly rough time at the moment, i have lost my job because she would not stay at the childminders after school and in the summer holidays, we were due to go abroad a month ago but she wouldn't get on the plane and, for the past 6 weeks she has refused to go to school.( i have had a formal warning from the LEA)
We have had various help from the education authourity and a therapist but things are no better. Today i have had to remove her officially from school and begin home schooling, something which she desperately wanted.
Thinking this was going to be answer..........how wrong could i be!!! Today she has become more agressive than ever, and has done very little school work. Perhaps this has been a huge mistake, as now she has got everything she wanted and is still not satisfied. i just want my lovely, caring, funny daughter back!
I would love to hear from anyone who is or has been in a similar situation, as i feel at the end of my tether and really don't know where to turn now
Many thanks
