This cannot be normal

Its true that life is no bed of roses. Infact id go as far as to describe life as a bed of thorns. Melissa's behaviour has become worse over time and it is now unbearable. She will not do as she is told. She screams in your face. She is violent towards herself, her brother and even me. I am now in my 18th week of pregnancy with my 3rd and cannot handle her behaviour anymore. Doctors etc used to blame it on terrible 2s, then they blamed it on typical 3 year old behaviour but i just wasn't buying it. A parent just knows when something is not right with their child. Well i am a stubborn cow and i refuse to give in. We have now moved 223 miles and i am pleased to say that although my new gp surgery aren't much help, my health visitor and the head SENCO at Melissa's nursery are listening and taking me seriously. We have only been living here for 5 months and have already had physio referrals, occupational therapy referrals, speech and language therapy referrals, paediatric referrals and i am just waiting on a geneticist referral for Melissa as she has the same chromosome defect as me. So it appears we are finally on the right road to getting the help we have been longing for.
