So frustrated

I'm currently sat here in tears, as yet again my Dd2 has frustrated me so much and made me so angry with her behaviour. This time it is down to current issue that no matter what pair or shoes I suggest she is adamant every pair is too small, big etc.

If I explain why I have posted here. Since my dd2 was about 2.5 we noticed something wasn't quite right but couldn't put our finger on it. After spending years (she's just turned 7) battling for help with Nhs and school and being made to feel we are useless parents and obviously don't have a clue. Dd1 hasn't any issues( except for not being very confident and now at 9 getting hormonal and worrying about school work - unwarranted)

Anyway finally at magical age of 7 and after changing schools dd2 has been diagnosed with auditory memory difficulties, some socialisation issues with her peers and reading/writing problems. She is under a Salt and paediatrician, ed psych now getting involved due to SENCO pushing.

She has many traits, obsessions and rituals. The problem is as my dd2 is just below borderline in all areas no one is seeing the full picture of what we as a family deal with on a daily basis, and also sometimes I question myself if dd is so clever she plays on her problems, am I too strict? Every morning is a battle as she says can't get ready, won't get out of bed. Have even taken her to school in pj's before now.

Not sure how much more I can take, as I'm worn out. It hasn't helped that we have just moved back to our house after 12 months living away due to flood trashing our house and contents.

My dd2 is a very loving child when she wants to be and I love her so much, but hate having this frustration and everyday ends up in a screaming match.

Sorry for length of this, but wondered if any mn have any ideas to improve our situation.

Hi sorry you are having a rough time. Can I recommend you re post this in the special needs children's section of the board as it has a lot more traffic and I'm sure many of the wise posters over there will be able to give you advice.
