I am about at my wits end because all I do is listen to a screaming child all day long. It is to the point that I am shocked that she can even still talk. She screams so loud that she chokes sometimes!
Right now she is screaming at me as I am typing this.
Yesterday she screamed for 11 hours just because she couldn't get her way.
I know the issue. She wants me to either be holding her, or her be laying on my lap ALL. THE. TIME. If I am not holding her, she's screaming at my lap.
I have consulted with friends, family, therapists, and even the doctor, only to find out that these are just fits and her pushing her boundaries.
I have had to do the one thing I didn't want to, which is put her in her carseat and strap her down here in the room, because she is throwing herself to a concrete floor, and causing self-inflicted injuries. I mean, it is so bad, that words can't even describe it. I think the devil has gotten into her or something!
If she is crying at my lap to be let up, and I don't let her, sometimes she begins to bite my legs, and slap me.
But this has gone on for the past TWO weeks and she is still as stubborn as when she started. It shows no sign of letting up. I'm not exaggerating when I say that she has not been happy for one second in that amount of time.
I can only get one meal and a few snacks in her a day, because she's too busy screaming her head off to eat.
I don't know what advice I'm looking for...I guess this was really more of a vent. I am COMPLETELY at my wit's end here. I'm close to sticking her in the crisis daycare for a few days to clear my head, and hopefully get rid of these knots in my stomach.
