I'm 32 years old and have been a single parent for 7 years now. My daughter is 9 years old. I divorced her father because of domestic violence. Ever since, I have made positive changes in my life and try with all of my heart to be the best parent that I can be. I do not receive child support and work 3 part-time jobs just to keep a roof over our heads. I also attend college full-time in the hopes of securing our future . Although I work alot, I do spend plenty of time with my little girl and she accompanies me to my child-friendly jobs. Normally, we have a really beautiful relationship, but when she gets angry, she becomes another person. She throws and breaks things in her room (and at me). She yells at me, refuses to do as she is told, cries and screams at the top of her lungs. I don't believe in spanking...& time-out's and groundings are not working. She has no concern for my feelings, is disrespectful and unruly. She is in therapy, but it"s not working. Please HELP!
