Hi.
I think I may make a choice that could destroy me & my family but I don't k ow what else to do.
My DD is 9. She is my only child. My partner has a son who is 8 and we have all lived together since my DD was 4. (Before that i lived on my own with my DD)
I suffer from depression. Have done for a very long time. Whether its post natal or not, I'm clueless. Teary yes. Clueless most definitely.
My DD just has never stopped. Its an everyday thing. Shouting & grounding before school even starts. I dread her coming home from school because I know the teachers will have something to say. Or she would do something on the way home & my stomach drops & I feel sick. Its a battle.
She hangs around when I'm talking (or another adult) and then will repeat the story to anyone listening. Gets me into trouble constantly. She will stand around a corner & watch me. Stares at me. Its kind of creepy. She bosses all the other kids around. She says things completely out of order, offends people all the time.
I know it sounds petty & probably so small to everyone else but its just chipped away at me for so long now. There are bigger things but I just can't type them out loud at the moment. My partner is at her with end. My family don't have her over night because her screaming at 5am & her constant arguing back (she will boss my Nan around, where to sit, where to go etc) my sister can't handle her & I'm thinking of sending her to my mums (Australia) for a while so I can just breathe.
Please. I just need someone to talk to. Before I break badly
