1. I'm so glad for your good news.

You've brought back so many memories with your story. The wrecked room, shower battles, constipation, enuresis and food issues. My daughter was the same, except that her violence was mostly turned toward herself. Every Prescription that we tried only made her worse (one of which wrecked her joints for 3 months). In the long run. puberty seemed to ease many of her symptoms. She still has anxiety but mostly has learned to control her panic attacks. The good news is that she's 23 now and has become a wonderful woman and seems to be the wisest and most reasonable among her friends.
Hang in there and keep the long view. Help her when she crashes too hard and needs it. You are her rock whether she'll admit it or not.
