[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you give more details OP? [/quote]

Overreaction, blaming, yelling, sassiness (understatement), physically hurting others in the household by kicking, hitting, throwing things.  [Please spare criticism.  I am here for productive solutions by people who have BTDT. Enough derailing has happened already, for a rather sensitive topic, that should be treated seriously.  Thanks, OP here.]    [/quote]

I've posted earlier.  Mine is the one with the anxious/depressed teen, who saw a psychologist.

All of these things were happening with the addition of threatening to self harm.

[b]PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE[/b] have your child evaluated by a professional.  That is where we learned strategies.  We were advised to call the police when the physical violence happened.  That was suggested by the psychologist with ds sitting right there.  After she told us that, she looked ds and said "Did you hear what I just told them to do?  The next time you start trying to hurt someone, including yourself, the police will be called."

How old is your child?  Ours was 11 when this started.

You need the help of someone who can walk you through this.  I don't think the strategies would have gotten us far without ds in counseling and knowing what was going on.
