Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 I live in Colorado, been married 10yrs and have two daughters 9 & 6. My 9yr old has mild Aspergers & SID. She takes Trileptal & Celexa which has helped her tremendously. Yesterday was a bad day though because there was a change in her daily routine. Normally I let her play on the playground after school for a while because it helps her transition better. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling well (I have MS) & I told her we couldn't stay. This resulted in a tantrum & general bad attitude. I found myself resenting her & her behavior. My other daughter just said ok whatever when I said we couldn't stay. It gets so exhausting dealing with my older daughter sometimes. I find myself losing my patience. I just told her to get in the car & I didn't speak to her. Then when we got home I told her to go upstairs with the cats until she could calm down. After a while she was totally fine & acted as though nothing happened. I just have to be careful that I don't show any sort of preference to my younger daughter because she is so easygoing. That is probably the hardest part for me. E. Quote
