hey fifi.... it is truly awful wot u must be going through... but i will just tell u, you are not alone... i work for a neurotherapist and she treats a LOT of adhd kids... many of them and their families going through EXACTLY the same thing... to give a brief outline of wot neurotherapy is: the client's brainwaves are monitored and any irregularities in the three types of wave in specific parts of the brain indicates the client's disability. for example, low beta wave in the frontal lobe means the client is suffering depression. from this information the parent/s and the child are assessed in other ways, such as the child's thought patterns and behaviour and the parent's knowledge of their child's behaviour, sleeping patterns, etc. from all of this the diagnosis is complete and training takes place to re-train that part of the brain and that irregular brainwave to bring it bak to the 'normal' rate and therefore lower the level of adhd in the child. i know it may all sound very wishy washy to u and u may be thinking 'oh god not another of these crazy therapies' but THIS WORKS. it is the same as psychology or counselling yet the child isnt just being emotionally cured but PHYSICALLY as well. i have seen many adhd kids come into the clinic throwing things around and running a-muck, to leave as a 'normally' behaved kid wit a brighter future and a happier family. if u want anymore information just ask... im just offering a suggestion but im doing so cos i know this works... and wit ur child physically abusing u like that this can not be left unnoticed... plz, see ur gp, do woteva u can.. me, i swear by neurotherapy, it is a fantastic method wit AMAZING results.. good luck girl let us know how ur doing
stef - everything happens for a reason
