[quote=Anonymous]My DD has always been a bit challenging. She is newly menstruating and has been extremely difficult, rude and withdrawn. She is an excellent student and athlete and has many friends. At home, she is often reading and can’t be interrupted/wont respond to basic pleasantries. She snaps and is often incredibly rude. She has sworn at me when in a very agitated state about forgetting an item and has generally refused to engage with her father at all. We are very involved parents. She is very frustrated constantly with her siblings. We don’t know what to do. We are trying not to take it personally and neutrally give consequences but it is hard. We have a lot of fun expensive trips planned as a family soon and I dread her running all experiences with her frustration and disdain. What do I do here? We’ve talked about therapy and she’s not interested.  She insists there is no change or underlying issue. Thought? Ride it out? I’m terrified at this level of anger in such a young girl and dreading the road ahead.[/quote]
