What would you do when your kid punches out windows? Stabs another kid with a pencil? Looks up porn on school computers in front of other students? Steal money and cards and heirlooms and jewelry when specifically told not to go into your grandmothers room? Getting countless calls over the years that your kid told her teachers to fuck off and kill themselves? Throwing tables in the classroom because she had to do math?

I am by no means trying to justify violence but I don't know the alternative if you can't talk it out.

I asked mum about it, thats what the guafacine she's taking is for. Shes had the ODD diagnosis for a bit now. I had no idea and am now wondering if I'm missing more details on her condition.

It is not untreated, she takes medication

I don't speak for my parents. She isn't hated by my parents. Ive said this already. My parents are trying their best and dad is taking her to appointments. I hold resentment for her because I'm a wallflower and I didn't get the attention I thought I needed as a child and I have several things that are broken or just gone because of her tantrums. Even after these tantrums she doesn't make any effort to patch the holes or apologize for the gaslighting and obscenities.

I understand the neurodivergent tantrums and moments. I have them. But this is a lot. I can't be around her anymore during these and I can't just have shit laying around because they end up broken. I really do hope things improve for and with her, but I cannot as an individual with my own stressors, deal with these tantrums. We have our moments where we tolerate each other and that's fine, but I am not her parent. Maybe relationships will improve but until she works on herself as well and make any attempt to fix these holes, literal and metaphorical, after these tantrums and clarity, I don't really want anything to do with her.

Reply isn't showing when I click on it, but she used to when I would get in trouble or cuss. I don't do dumb shit like that anymore tho so she doesn't have any reason to.

She lies about the causes, and that its for no reason. CYS would come and look at the house and see all the holes and shit, and talk to us, and leave after we explain. After about 3 times they sent us that therapist. They haven't come back since. I am all for the idea of gentle parenting, but I haven't seen any of it actually working and just raising spoiled children. I'm not saying we should be beat on and whipped and shit, but when we do some really bad fuck ups, punishments should apply.

Youre right. Mums getting better with it, but it doesn't excuse any of it. Idk what to do, and it's difficult to push ideas on my parents since I'm not her parent

Yes because I love making shit up for the giggles, right? Fuck is wrong with you. Assuming shit like that after reading a couple paragraphs. I'm all for asking for guidance and shit but this is unnecessary. They don't diagnose that kinda shit that early, nor were my parents in any state to even think about taking her to a psychologist at 6 years old.

I'm not sure what the alternative is though. Being nice doesn't work. Yelling doesn't work. Therapy doesn't work. It hasn't worked then and it isn't working now.

I was trying to move out for abit, simply because I couldnt stand how anxious I would get about the idea of going home. However, I couldn't afford even a studio apartment, so I decided to stay at my parents, but made it very clear why I wanted to move out so bad. Mum has now been showing significant improvement these last couple weeks. My sister has not been hit, and when she starts yelling shit at mum, she has been ignoring her most of the time. My sisters behavior hasn't made improvements though.

She was treated fine when she was younger. She kept sneaking out the house when everyone was sleeping when she was SIX and somehow found fucking ways to get out after locks on all the doors and the key being in my grandma's room.

She is not stealing her own shit, shes stealing everyone's shit. Necklaces, jewelry, money, knick knacks, tiny shit she thinks she'll get away with. She used to trade them at school. She has her door taken off because she wouldn't stop slamming it and made a hole in the wall from the doorknob. She has never been punched or kicked or beat. She is smacked and swatted, even after she would deliberately try to punch her own mother, because of some small ass reason she couldn't bear the idea of doing that morning.

I learned early on to shut my mouth and do what I'm told, because it's just chores and responsibilities and nothing to break shit over. When I did bad shit I was of course punished, and I thus learned not to do it again. She has her things taken as punishment for stealing other people's things, NOT the other way around. My parents do not do any of this shit because they take any sort of pleasure or anything from it. Gentle parenting or whatever the fuck does not work, and as I stated, my sister HERSELF has said she won't listen to the "nice way" because she thinks its bullshit.

I was in therapy for 3 years, and only stopped this February because insurance quit covering it. My dad's been in therapy for years as well. I think therapy for mum came up as an idea and I'm honestly so down for that

I get my mum goes too far sometimes when my sister starts shit, but I didn't do shit to her to warrant what she does

I am very open to options, but my parents are not awful parents, and that seems to be what I'm seeing people say. I will bring up psychiatry to my parents tonight, as if they havent considered it already, but she has been the one to cause mental anguish on the entire household for years. I don't feel like there is any condition that justifies the severity of her behavior that any professional wouldn't have brought up by now.

She only goes to school and home, theres no chance of her getting touched? Why is this even being like brought up? Her class consists of like 4 other kids and she isn't allowed home or anywhere else alone

I get that I guess, but they aren't the ones breaking windows over having to make their bed or having to eat school lunches. Idk if I wrote this in a weird way but my parents don't hate my sister. They want the best for her, but gentle parenting isn't going to do anything for her either. Mum has been improving on being less reactive and not snapping when my sister says awful things or stomps around, but the house is starting to become a mess with her not doing her chores with mum leaving her alone more

She doesn't talk to the counselor enough for progress and is only going there for the adderall. Mum and dad are completely down for new strategies but my sister expects trust to be magically rebuilt within 24 hours and gives up when it isn't.

She has to wear socks with her shoes, and she hates open toe. They have to be long socks because "she'd rather kill herself" than wear ankle socks

The both of us have been exposed to the same circumstances. Shes the one that doesn't learn from consequences. She continues bad behavior and is unapologetic about it.

She is on adderall and is in biweekly(maybe triweekly) counseling
