About Me
Divorced mom of 2 young children, ages 3 & 9. Me and my ex husband have just reunited and are discussing remarriage. We both realized that we can't live without the other. I am an only child and come from a dysfunctional family. The demons from my past still haunt me today as an adult. I am currently having serious issues with my 3 year old daughter. Though she hasn't been diagnosed by a M.D., I fully believe she has ODD: Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Having probs w son too. Need halp & advice.

Interests
I love to make handmade bath treats such as soaps, bath salts, bath bombs, etc. I also like gardening, shopping at thrift stores, reading self help books, animals, going to the beach to feed the seagulls, ducks and geese, surfing the net and last but certainly NOT least, quiet time.

Close Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
Single mom of 2 kids, ages 3 & 9. Me and ex husband have just reunited and are discussing remarriage. I'm an only child from a dysfunctional family. I am dealing with ODD in my 3 y/o daughter and possible ADHD in my 9 y/o son. These are my assumptions as they haven't been diagnosed. I'm about at my wits end and I just want peace!!!
Treatments
- Child Time-out Not Working
- Time outs are out of the question for my 3 y/o. She won't comply! I've tried ignoring her, spanking her, distracting her, temporarily taking privledges away & time outs. It just goes on and on until she decides it's time to stop the raging tantrum. She is vindictive, a threat to my family's safety, including her own and is so full of anger that it's hard to believe she's only 3! She is almost in control of this household, though we don't make her aware of that. Everything revolves around her.
Close Family Issues
I am an only child who grew up in a very dysfunctional family. Both of my parents severely mentally abused me and sometimes, there was physical abuse. I am 42 years old now and the demons of my past have followed me into adulthood. I still deal with not knowing who I am, anger, emptiness, depression, etc. I hold a lot of resentment inside towards my parents for messing up my life in such a big way. Nothing feels real...my past or present. It is a very unsettling feeling. I need advice please.
Treatments
- Family Therapy Not Working
- Went with my parents when I was a teenager. When they blamed it all on me, I refused to go again. As an adult, I've been in singles therapy, marriage therapy and spoken to ministers. Nothing seems to work. I just remain the same. I do read a LOT of self help books and I get a lot out of them. I know who I want to be, I just can't seem to get there! For starters, I have no confidence in myself.
- Music Working / Worked
- Music has always been a big part of my life. It's the one thing I always ran to, to get away from the craziness! I would vent my anger thru songs with angry lyrics. This helped me alot! Still does!!!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Talking Working / Worked
- It does help to talk about things. I've even gone to my parents, recently even, and talked to them about my very troubled life. I, of course, let them know why.
- Writing Not Working
- I quit doing this because day after day, nothing changed.
Open Financial Challenges
Single mom of 2 young kids. Was asked to resign 2 1/2 months ago. I'm in banking & have been for 24 yrs. I exceeded the amount of sick days at my last job because of valid health problems between me and my 2 children. I had doctor's excuses for each absense. The limit is 6 sick occurrences per year. I had 8. I am still without a job. I have no money coming in except for my child support. I don't think that I can get unemployment but I'm looking into food stamps, & state assistance (ins., etc.).
Treatments
- Budgeting Not Working
- I'm down to mandatory expenses, such as feed, mortgage, electric, etc. Shopping for "wants" is out of the question. I am still short on cash each month. I have to cut into our grocery money and that stinks. We don't eat near as good as we used to.
- Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
- I did this a long time ago and it was one of the smartes decisions I've ever made. I will NEVER own a credit card agaon!
- Holding a Garage Sale Working / Worked
- It helped, but only temporarily.
Open Life After Divorce
I've been divorced 2 years from a 10 year marriage. I'm not here to give false hope, but if something is meant to be, it will be! Reconciliation is possible. Sometimes, time apart is what's needed. Take this time to read self help books, do research on your feelings and to find yourself again. Try this site www.marriagebuilders.com There's a lot of comfort there! You'll get thru this. Each day will be a little better. Ask yourself what you did to contribute to the problem and try to work on it.
