Finally...some of the snot I like to see. So let her see what it going to be like with you gone. She likes to beat up on you, blame you for everything.....so don't give her the chance. Remember it takes two to fight....if one isn't present then there is no fight.
On the Aderol....be careful with that one. My son was on it for about to weeks and the moodiness was off the wall. He attacked my wife and myself....and he was 8. Taking him off was a trick to...so that is just a heads up. These is a new one out that my soon is on called intuniv that so far seems to be great for his focus and so far no mood swings. It is brand new (november '09) and it isn't a stimulant.....so if Aderol gives you fits it might be one to have the Dr research for you.
"and when d acted up and sat next to mom, i got off the couch got on my knees and said to d i am going to fight for you, i am going to be your parent then your friend, then i sat back down on couch, about a minute later of quiet is when wife went ballastic"-That explains the blow up though...I like what you said to your daughter...spot on. What sucks is that in your wife's state delivering it in front of her was more likely belittling in her mind....The old "I am going to be a parent because your mother isn't"....but I say what the heck because you did the right thing. Take care of that girl...give her a big hug because she is going through hell and we are all her for her in spirit.
