[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isnt unusual for parents to come on here with these posts and we should all be supportive because OP is being honest and if anyone should understand its parents of kids with SN.

OP you are depressed and you need to help yourself.  That is your first priority.  No excuses.  We can only be supportive if you take that first step.  Second, see the behaiviorist.  Your DD's behavior isn't set in stone.  This is all about getting the right help for the situation.  Do it.  And things will get better.

Ignore the suggestions to institutionalize or put your daughter up for adoption. [b] These are made by parents wjho can't understand how bad things can get and how they can still be greatly addressed.[/b]  You can do it.  Take the first steps.[/quote]

I made my suggestion from my perspective as a daughter whose parents didn't and don't want me. Not because there was a special needs issue but because they are emotionally disturbed. They inflicted a great deal of violence on me over the years. Parenting, for them, was not a growing experience. It's only a growing experience if a person chooses to make it so, and has the determination and resources to make it so.

Sometimes adoption is in the best interests of the child. Whether that's the case with OP or not, only she knows. [/quote]

I am sorry for your experience but I wonder if your are a parents of a child with a disability.  This kind of post is not that unusual for these boards because raising kids with disabilities is really hard and parents of SN kids have elevated rates of depression.  It is also common for people to respond that they were once in this position, got help and turned things around.  There is nothing in OPs post to indicate that she is violent.  And since you were not a child with a developmental disability your situation is not at all like OP's DD.

Nobody said this is a growing experience.  Jeez, I don't think any of us with kids with developmental disabilities would romanticize them in this way.  I think because your experience is so different from OP's and so extreme it may be difficult for you to give her the appropriate advice.[/quote]
