I have had a very tough weekend with my dd, as she goes to see her Dad once every 2nd weekend as he lives 200 miles away. I take her up on the train and stay at my mums while she sees her dad, and then I take her home again (she's 3 1/2). Normally she's sad but ok, but this time we got into Leeds at 11pm on Fri night, and set off at 7pm the following evening, arriving home at 11.30pm. She got back from her Dad's absolutely despising me, which is not like her at all-she is generally absolutely beatiful and placid and just gets a little upset when he goes, so I was completely unable and unequipped to deal with her behaviour. This time she screamed my mum's house down, punched me, smacked me, kicked me, bit me, everything in the book, and did the same to my mum. I just ignored the behaviour and let her know that I knew she was feeling sad, and that i loved her very much etc. The behaviour continued on and off for the four hour train ride, and continued again the second she got up. I still stayed calm, and spent the period after lunch fixing her new seat on to the back of the bicycle. She came out to help, which stressed me out big time as these things have to be on REALLY securely, otherwise she falls off the back of the bike and gets run over, on top of which we were over an hour late for a playdate, when she hits me and then decides to go back in the house. I didn't realize she was heading for the house and instead thought she was heading for the main road right next to it, so SCREAMED at her, as in completely and utterly lost all control over my words. It was so loud the neighbor came out of her house, who doesn't know us from Adam as we have just moved in, and I'm worried now she rang the police and/or social services. Will she get taken away from me? I've never done that before and have been shaking from it all day-I don't know what to do.
