I’m wondering if anyone could maybe help me make sense of what is happening with Dd
She started high school in September and has basically had a complete personality transplant and I have no idea what’s going on
Shes had a few friendship issues with one particular girl but that seems to have smoothed out now and she has a couple of good friends at school, they’ve been to the house etc, one in particular calls it her second home but I have heard from this friend that there is also issues with another girl which Dd didn’t tell me about
She has also pretty much stopped eating
Isn’t eating her lunches at all at school, won’t eat breakfast so is only really eating one meal a day, but will go to the shops and buy shite which I’ve had to ban her from
This may not be a big deal to some but Dd is diabetic so she really can’t just not eat for 20+ hours at a time
She also chews a lot of chewing gum, which again I’ve had to tell her to stop in case it’s part of the reason she won’t eat
Now the newest thing is she’s stopped brushing her teeth, every day I look at her brush and it’s dry and I say ‘have you brushed your teeth’ and she says she has and she dries it after, I just know it’s a lie, her teeth are filthy
Last night I took her toothbrush into my room and on the way out the door I said have you brushed your teeth which she said yes to and I knew it was a lie as her brush was in my room, I had to stand over her to get her to do it while she screamed at me the entire time
In and amongst this she has been absolutely vile
The way she speaks to people is absolutely shocking, so so so rude and disrespectful
She screams and shouts at everyone for the smallest things, a sticking point for her seems to be noises, if someone is making a noise that she deems annoying (particularly her older brother) she will absolutely scream at the top of her lungs at them, she calls names, slams doors, this morning with the tooth brushing debacle she kicked off and was kicking the bath and has broke the panel
I am at a loss
Ive tried to speak to her a 100 times it’s like getting blood out of a stone, I’ve called the school, they have no concerns apparently and aren’t seeing any of this behaviour
But there is 100% something going on
She is unrecognisable from the girl she was, she was always so happy go lucky, so popular, so funny, just so easy to be around, I don’t know what has caused this drastic change and I don’t know how to help her
Anyone got any ideas??
