[QUOTE="DDD, post: 512674, member: 35"] Welcome. The other family members have addressed many issues so I won't repeat their advice. I'm wondering what medical experts you have consulted. Is she being seen by a child Psychiatrist? Who did the evaluation and came up with the diagnosis's? On a more helpful note I have traveled the ADHD path with three children. The last one had multiple diagnosis's and was the only one who displayed violence....until we got the right psychiatrist. He needed more help than a stimulant medication could provide and my gut says your daughter likely does also. You mentioned that she is on a time release stimulant medication but noted that morning and evenings are rough. With our Dr's approval I was able to solve that problem by giving a small dose of Ritalin while he was still in bed in the morning...and a small dose of Ritalin in the afternoon that usually kept him calm until bedtime. It might be worth exploring. Like everyone else I assure you that you are not a bad parent. We are given such challenging and exhausting children that I wonder if Mother Teresa would have been able to cope...day in and day out. Sending hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
