This is such a hard topic and I'm sure that you coming forward is truly a cry for help. I commend you for that. But... I don't believe a way to get a child to understand something, PWS or not, by hitting is the answer. You yourself call both of your children spoiled brats, that attitude is negative. You need to find positive things about your children. Plus, you being a single mom at 24 is not your children's fault, it's a crutch for you to justify the things you do. My mother raised my 3 siblings and I on her own with no help what so ever from my dad or the state. I also have a brother who has a mental disease. My mother never called us spoiled brats nor hit us in the head or face when we acted up. Yes occasionally we got a swat on the bottom and I'm sure well deserved. I don't think the whole world thinks you are a jerk but some people really disagree with your tactics and you having the "BALLS" to come forward and airing your dirty laundry as you stated, comes along with criticism from people who disagree. You can't begrudge someone for stating what they feel and automatically get on the defensive... you put it out there for discussion. I can only try to understand what you may be going through and I really hope you find the answers you are looking for to help you and your daughter. Try to think more positive. You have taken the first step in getting help... that is never a wrong thing. I'm sure you love your children and want to do right by them... continue the march!!! Good luck to you and I will be watching the show!
