Hi, my daughter is 16 and has in the past self harmed due to being mentally abused by her dad. She lives we me and her step dad and recently has been suffering anger issues. This has can result in her banging about, being rude and other such behaviour. I try not to feed into it and know that she is a good daughter deep down but when she is like this it makes me feel useless and that I have done everything wrong by her.
She talks to my mum more than me which doesn't bother me because at least she is talking to someone right? But I'm at a loss of what to do, she turns so quickly and can be so rude. She has discussed going to see the doctor because of the behaviour but I know from previous time visiting during the self harm stage and therapy they will not put her on anything due to her age but what more can I do? When we have spoken she has done nothing but praise myself and my husband for all that we have done for her but here I am feeling wrung out by it all. Apologies for the ramble but I need to speak some one about it, thank you
