[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 368195, member: 1550"] I can't tell you what to do about your marriage, but I'm there with smallmom. I'm thinking that these kids have not seen good diagnosticians and have probably been misdiagnosed. Stimulants should help their impulse control if they have ADHD. The fact that no ADHD medications help tells me to explore further, maybe remove those medications. Have they been to a neuropsychologist? Also the vast majority of good psychiatrists and NeuroPsychs know better than to diagnose Conduct Disorder is such a young child...I would not trust the treatment they are getting. Although there is a lot of chaos in your daughter's life, there is really no way to stop that now. My daughter's friends are mostly from divorced homes, a few who never saw their parents together. It's still a world of going from house to house and back again and the kids really hate it especially as they get older. Then they have to deal with new stepparents, usually from both parents, and new stepsiblings, and it gets very complicated and unsettling. There is no way to totally spare your daughter...she will see her father. She will see her stepsiblings. Whether or not you want to leave the marriage, the child is still going to have a lot to deal with in her life. That doesn't mean she can't overcome either option, but if you still love your husband, leaving him will not eliminate her time with him completely nor can you keep her away from her stepsiblings when she is with him. Sadly, there are no simple solutions. Welcome to the board. We get it! Good luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
