[quote=Anonymous]Two things. (1) you are too enmeshed with your DD. I had this problem as well. You are riding her emotional waves because you are used to being so connected to her. This is extremely taxing on you. if you can afford therapy for yourself, this would be really helpful so you can work through ways to establish some emotional boundaries. To some extent, she is doing the developmentally necessary task of separating from you. It isn't pretty, but it is probably the healthiest things long term. (2) she may have a mood disorder. Sometimes when the hormones kick in things like anxiety or depression kick in with them. And emotional volatility, anger can be signs of this. I would again suggest a therapist for yourself to sort this out and maybe a conversation with your DD's pediatrician. You might also consider taking her to a child psych for screening. [/quote]
