My dd (11) has always struggled to cope with big emotions and becomes angry very quickly. Recently, during the holidays, it's got really bad.
She will fly off the handle at the smallest thing, so I can't even try and stop triggers. She ends up trying to physically fight or hurt me, slams doors, stomps feet, all while constantly screaming at the top of her voice "you f*ing st, you fing b*ch". These 'episodes' can last over an hour.
We live in a terraced house and I don't know how long it will be before they call the police. I have spoken to them before and they seem understanding, but I can often hear their conversations through the wall, so they must hear the swearing. They have a toddler and I'm worried he will start copying her words.
I'm a single parent, and although she (and her younger sister) see her Dad often, he is no help (I left him due to emotional abuse and his anger issues).
I've been in contact with Cahms and social services and they were completely useless.
Any consequences or punishments just end up causing bigger tantrums.
I'm at a complete loss of what to do.
