I've got a totally out of control 8 yr old here. Don't know what to do with her. Her lastest thing is smarting off constantly, being extremely disrespectful, and tonight her behavior was totally unbelievable. We were on our way out and the kids wouldn't get ready. So I started out the front door to the car, and on my way out, oldest PUSHES me and calls me "FREAK!"
I know you all are gonna think I'm a rotten parent, but I need help and ideas here. I've tried everything with this girl. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think alot of it has to do with her dad, she acts just like him. She's been through alot, seen him hit me, call me names, etc, etc. He's been on his best behavior lately, nothing has happened in the last few months. But she's just awful, totally defiant. What do you all think? His influence all these years? Or is it me? Give me ideas here on how I should handle her.

Even though he tells me its not my fault... I cant help but feel it is in some way ,...he did tell me he needed me to do more, and that he wasnt feeling connected to me because of the distance ...But he really didnt give me a c
I've had this problem too, and it's not something you want to try to deal with alone.I reccomend counceling.But not just any old councelor will do, try to find one who specializes in D.V. This is not something that can be corrected overnight, it's going to take patients and persistence but it can be done.And it's so important to your childs future.Hugs and best of luck to you all,
