[quote=Anonymous]I am just venting. Having such a hard time with DD6 who is ADHD inattentive + some ASD-like features.

Every single day, every single transition is a battle right now and I am exhausted. DD is hitting, screaming, spitting, making her body go limp...I feel like I am in an abusive relationship behind closed doors. In public, at school, at playdates or therapies she has no issues.

She is in an SN school setting and we're working closely with the school psychologist but help can't come soon enough. DH tries to help but is terrible at de-escalating and often ends up yelling or being too forceful with her (tugging her into her jacket kind of thing). We have a baby who is 10m who is demanding a lot more (and I think some of the root cause of DD's frustration/anger/neediness) and she is also visibly scared when DD starts yelling and we quickly need to separate them.

I am in therapy and looking for a local support group. I feel like I just can't take it anymore right now. DH doesn't have to deal with the brunt of it and I feel alone and shaken.
