My daughter has always been an angry volatile child, she was even an angry baby. I love her dearly, she is very clever and funny she makes great comversation and can be so charming. She is also angry and manipulative and violent. Shes 11 and although she is incredibly clever and described by her teacher as a maths genius she hates school, much of our arguments stem from this, she refuses to get up in the morning, swears and me and her dad, kicks and screams and has to be dragged to school. She also frequently hurts her siblings and can be incredibly spiteful one moment and incredibly sweet the next. She hates the noise of people eating and it's almost become a fixation yet she seems to purposefully put herself right next to someone eating almost so she can complain.
I'm at the end of my tether she has always been hard work but recently it seems like a major crisis she is violent, trashes things kicks walls, swears incessantly. I feel whatever I'm doing is ineffective and I'm starting to feel that she almost certainly has mental health issues it's like living with two people in one body. There is a history of schizophrenia in the family but I thought it was rarer for girls? I am almost certain she is a sociopath but am worried if I tell her gp or school they'll think its me, school never see the terrible behaviour. I'm so frightened that as it starts to escalate she will be harder and harder to manage. I just don't know what to do.
