my friend has two children aged 9 and 7. they are both in behavioural schools and still have to be picked up on a daily basis because they get in trouble. like walk out of class. my friend is a single mum with no real support for the ex partner. the kids have phycologists. they get into extreme rage too. she at her witts end. trying to help as much as possible but still they are times when she thinks death is better option for her. obviously there many other problems that will take to long to go into but any help or adivce would great.

SHE needs to see a shrink herself- she is under immense stress, and if she is having suicidal thoughts as the only way ‘out’, she may be having some serious depression. Encourage her to get help for HERSELF. Meds may be of help to her.

I think she needs a different psychologist, and in fact a psychiastrist consult would help them all. I NEVER liked any kinds of drugs but I have learned that there is “better living through chemistry” and I am glad we live in an era when medications are available. There are so few doctors who are willing to offer medications to young children, and rightly so, but sometimes there are exceptions…and this sounds like one of those exceptions. Depending on where she lives, she could ask her county to provide a social worker case manager (not like a welfare worker!) to help take some of the responsibility of setting up the programs and appointments to help with her kids. She should call the local mental health clinic and tell them her psychologist isn’t enough support any more. And, there is also foster care…which is designed to help offer respite and care as a way towards spreading the burden of care of these kids. I know it gets a bad rap but it can be useful. I think perhaps as a friend you could do the research for her into what kinds of services are available in your area.

She needs respite care. That means a chance for her to be away from the kids and for them to be supervised by people who can deal with them. Check with the Department of Social Services or whatever it is called where you are to see if they know of such a program. Agencies that do this offer a variety of kinds of care, from having someone come to the home a couple of times a week after school to residential care on weekends. It is usually free or very low cost. Other than that, she needs a therapist for herself that is not involved in any way with the kids.

Good on you for supporting her.

It sounds like she needs all the help she can get.

If she is feeling really depressed perhaps it would be a good idea for her to see her GP.
