To think my 12 y.o. DD has been possessed?

I've heard that the teen years can be difficult, but my once timid 12 year old daughter has become quite frankly demonic at times. She has moments where she is completely out of control, and swings between being completely irrational and screaming at us one minute and then hugging you the next and wanting to spend time with you. Is this hormones? Poor thing has had her period for at least a year and is quite developed for her age. Any one experienced the same?

Yes I was like this. I remember sobbing my heart out because my mum looked at me. Just looked at me.

Yep my dn once screamed at me hysterically because her mum had opened her blinds and left them tilted , it didn’t help that the more she screamed the more I was getting the giggles. She was completely beyond reasoning

I asked her to come out to get some breakfast from a local cafe. She said that I didn't mean it. I explained I did want her to come as I wouldn't have asked. It then switched to shouting as I wasn't making her brother come.... I never made him go. Why was I making her go?! Just so irrational. Last night, she deleted her homework by mistake and had a stellar meltdown. As I was sat redoing her homework for her, she was shouting at me saying I was unsupportive!

Feel your pain...

I asked mine where my daughter had gone last week. I’d liken it to living with a toddler, just one who can eyeroll and talk back to you. Hmm

As someone who is young enough to still vividly remember being that age, it sounds normal. God, the anger... nobody could do/say anything right. The frustration was exhausting and debilitating, and all over nothing particularly important lol. Nothing you can say will really help, it does end

thats definitely her hormones. I was the same, I can still remember the rage

NoneOfMyBusiness · 11/03/2020 05:38

Ha oh god.
Redoing her homework for her though? Hmm.

BBOA · 11/03/2020 22:37

Glad it sounds completely 'normal'. Ref redoing the homework.... I was seriously wondering if she needed to be sectioned by that point so believe me when I say I was more than happy to cut a paste a few facts about Austria! 😐

@BBOA

YEP, it's the 'just about to hit teens' hormones. And it's about to get worse. For the next 7-8 years!! Hold on tight, you're in for a rocky ride!!!

It's worth it though. My 2 are now in their 20s, and both lovely, independent, caring, intelligent young adults.

Good luck. Flowers
