Well - dd has never been an easy child - I used to post about her a lot. She's 8 now and I am finding it so hard to cope with her - my relationship with her is fast degenerating into the same relationship that I had with my own mother - which is not and never has been good.
dd is just so very agressive - she flies off the handle at the slightest thing - yells and screams at me all the time - point blank refuses to do anything she is asked and is generally very hard to live with.
Dh and I are very stressed out about it and are barely speaking to one another. We both work full time and I run around like a blue arsed fly doing virtually all the school runs myself (we have no help and can't afford any !)
I really don't know what to do - I dream (literally) of running away and getting away from them both. I am probably depressed still - I was on Prozac for a year but came off it as I didn't feel it was helping - just dulling - and I have been seeing a counsellor, but not really helped much.
Just don't know what to do - have read so mnay books about difficult children - but nothing seems to work - am coming to conclusion that she and I just do not get on.
She is very sweet and quiet at school and everywhere else - it's just at home she is a nightmare. My mother says I have spoiled her and so it is my own fault!
I don't know what to do really - I feel like I need Supernanny to come round - dh thinks dd needs to see a psychiatrist - I just want to disappear.
She just seems so angry - and I get the brunt of it. I guess the problem is me as I can't cope with it.
Has anyone experienced this and managed to sort it out?
