[quote=Anonymous]OP--you don't say if she acts this way with others. If so, this is a more concerning problem because she will alienate her peers and become socially isolated. I'd hop right on it with a therapist etc. I also think that you and the PP with a daughter going into last year of high school need to re-evaluate how you are responding to your DC. I cannot recommend highly enough practicing validation. This is a technique developed for people with borderline personality disorder (funny a PP mentioned this), but it works really well with pre-teens and teens. Practicing validation turned around my relationship with my teen DD 180 degrees. I just read up on it and put it into practice. Google validation and BPD. One good book on this is "Stop Walking on Eggshells." There are others. With some internet searching you'll be able to get the gist of it and see if this could work for you.[/quote]
