[quote=Anonymous]DD is a teen with ADHD, anxiety and a lot of defiance. We have two other kids, one of whom is also a teen, and can sometimes rebel at things but DD's behavior is really out of the norm. She yells, screams, insults, throws things and blames everything that goes wrong in her life on someone else. Has been in therapy and on meds for years. Her behavior has a cascading impact on everyone else. She refuses to get up for school almost every day and it makes siblings late to school and me late to work and upends everything we had scheduled. She goes to a private that she needs and there's no public transportation there and if I don't take her she just won't go to school. One time I tried to tell her I would call her a taxi and she just got back in bed and said she would rather sleep the whole day anyway.

Every morning I feel so stressed by this that I either want to scream at her or just give up and break down and cry. We have a therapist trying to help but it's not working and it's been months of this torture. What do you do or tell yourself so that you don't become really resentful of your child and start screaming at them? This is not sustainable.[/quote]
