Thanks so much for your kind words. They are very much appreciated!
Hi Nadine,
Holy cow it sounds like you must be completely drained at this point. Raising kids is hard enough let alone one with behavioral issues like your daughter. I understand how you feel, my son has special needs similar to Aspergers syndrome and has exhausted me to tears so many times throughout the years that I couldnt even begin to count.
I always say, all kids have issues, just different issues. We do our best as parents to get them raised into happy young adults but it aint easy. Ok, so here is my two cents:
Assuming you have health insurance, call your insurance mental health hotline(listed on the back of every insurance card) or go online to their website to see who the providers are in your area. You can set up an appointment with a psychiatrist MD who is able to prescribe medications and provide therapy counseling, or you can set up a visit with a counselor/psychologist for therapy counseling. My son went to see a counselor for years but now likes to goto his group therapy sessions. He likes them so much he gets really upset when he misses?
It takes a village to raise our kids these days and it sounds like you could use someone with experience in your corner. Your daughter may just be dealing with separation anxiety in the best way she knows how, or there may be something else going on. Either way I wish you the best and hope things quiet down for you and kiddo soon.
Take care
I WOULD DEFF TAKE HER TO A MENTAL HEALTH DOC.
