Re:cant speak to my daughter = rage

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Yes, I can totally relate. My dd is 13 now and things have gotten so much better

over the past 2/3 years but she was the same. I don't have any great advice, we

walked on eggshells for like 4 years from the time she was 8 until about 1 year

or so ago. I found that the best thing for us to do during the rage attacks was

to leave her alone to cool down and then just hug her and not say a thing.

It seemed that trying to make things better or arguing, yelling etc just

escalated the situation. It is tough and it takes time. My dd has been on

medication and in therapy almost 4 years, she still has terrible bad thoughts

and bad days but they are fewer and farther between.

Best to you and your family,

Melinda
