Please help, my daughter keeps waking at night and starts off wanting the loo but once shes been she completely flips. Starts shouting at me, trying to hit me, bite me etc. To be quite honest its like a scene from the exorcist, like shes been posessed. Shes not a small 8 either so I have to try and hold her down to stop her attacking me which is hard. Her dad won't help as he is understandably scared of hurting her. Shes not done it for a couple of months but it happened tonight and once it happens it tends to go on for a week or so. After about 20 minutes she stops and asks one of us to take her to bed! She denies all knowledge of it in the morning but it really doesn't seem like shes asleep. Im not sure if she needs to see a child psychologist or what but I do know that I can't take this anymore its making me ill. Any advice?
