How do you percieve yourself (in terms of your character) when you're altered (weed, alcohol, whatever), especially so when you're with company? I know some of us AuDHD girls can only socialize when you drink beforehand or smoke a little.
Does anyone else feel unmasked? Or do you feel masked but in a slightly different way? I hope the question is understandable, I'd really like to hear your experience.
I hear a lot of different struggles on here, but wanted to ask if anyone has a similar struggle with a very "bossy" or micromanaging child?
My daughter is 4 almost 5, and she just *cannot* leave her brother be (3yo). He is playing by himself, and she takes away his toy, or wants to control how he plays with it.
She also cannot play with another toy or item (we have a slide and rocker for the kids) without her constantly beckoning her brother over when he is not interested (both verbally and body language wise). So in any particular day I keep hearing:
>Alex! (Not real name) Alex! Alex, come here! ALEEEEEEX COME HEEEEEEERE!
Over and over again. I am at a loss as to how to get a handle on this, it's not the first time where I've had to physically seperate her off her brother because she's actively entertained by his crying, or he starts getting seriously frustrated with her and starts hitting her (with her crying or laughing in reaction).
I'm at my wits end with this most days, and have explained to her about keeping her hands to herself, that if her brother screams or says "no" it means he doesn't want to play/be touched, that she is bigger and not to put her body on him, not to take things out of his hands... Etc so forth. It just doesn't seem to work. How do I get through to her?
