ADD

[Guest guest]

Dear Gina...

 

Sorry it took so long to respond... Just needed some weekend time

to go over this more completely...

 

Ok, first of all let me say I can relate to this as a child of

divorced parents and having gone through much of this myself- not so

much the physically violent reactions- but I do understand the agony

and pain...

 

From what you say, I think we can agree that the divorce is a large

part of the picture... Which instead of looking at developmental

issues, it makes me want to look at overwhelming emotions of anger,

grief and confusion. And minus any physical complaints:

 

The first remedy that comes to mind is Belladonna.

 

It is listed under destructive, biting, and striking, it comes under

screams- which I think is close enough to yelling, it comes under

anger, and sleepiness in the morning, in addition to loquacity- or

the chattiness you mentioned.

 

How about that for a match?

 

I think it is a great one- but it is up to you and what you think.

So consider doing your own research about HOMEOPATHIC (not the herb)

Belladonna on line- remember not everything has to match what your

child is experiencing- our literature is so vast that if someone had

absolutely everything that is listed- well- that goes beyond the

imagination!!!!

 

If it were me- I would start with a 30c potency- and take as

frequently as needed. Like every 15 minutes in the midst of a break

down and as the person settles to start spreading the remedy out-

like every 1/2 hr to every hr to every 2 hours. The trick- which is

best handled by a consultation- is to not over do or under do the

remedy...

 

But you will need to play with it and you are always welcomed to

email me privately if you want to go over what is happening...

 

Ok, this next part may not win me a lot of friends. And I apologize

upfront, but I feel it needs to be said and no- I am not a counseler

but- you two are the adults- she is the child. You two are causing

the chaos she is trying to navigate through- but she is not capable

of understanding it- she is a child- let alone dealing with such

trauma and confusion of having the two people she is dependent on

suddenly freaking out from her point of view- and that says nothing

of the stuff that lead up to the divorce. Nor the horror of being

placed on medications and possibly feeling like she is crazy or at

fault or defective. When really she just might be in both of your's

emotional whirlwinds. Please, please remember you two loved each

other- and regardless of what has occured short of actually

physical, mental abuse- so stuff like adulteries, broken dreams, all

the hurts and pains of relationships- you need to forgive each other

enough to sustain your love for each other- albeit in this new and

different form since the divorce- so that you both, and together,

can give her what she needs the most- peaceful, sustaining, nuturing

love. Love is the most powerful medicine possible. And right now

everyone involved seems in desperate need of it.

 

Hope that helps...
