[quote=Anonymous][quote]Here’s an article to get you started and I do suggest you contact a good child psychiatrist to get your child assessed and get her and yourselves into family therapy. Even if she doesn’t assess as psychopathy she is clearly struggling with dark thinking and that is not likely to get better by itself as she goes through the upheavals of puberty.[/quote]

OP, not only does your older child need an eval and help by a psychiatrist, not a "therapist" but the point about family therapy is key. You have allowed a tween to so dominate and shape your younger children that they now share and parrot HER twisted and anti-human values rather than yours. Not only do they parrot them, they act them out toward family. Your entire family dynamic is very disturbed. Your older child should not have this type of power, like some mini cult leader in the family.

What is your DH like? Is he very dark and macabre too?

I would act quickly to find a child psychiatrist with relevant experience and ask them for advice re: family therapy approaches and providers. I'd also cut off internet, and monitor books, music and other dark themes. This is way above a "counselor" you need her assessed for underlying psychiatric and mood disorders by a psychiatrist, a medical doctor, as a first step.

Are you depressed, OP? Why have you been so passive re: the oldest child? Why has she been given free rein to indoctrinate the others with views you do not share? Is she parroting views of your DH? Is he STEM? Does the older child have friends her own age? She may well be autistic and be in need of interventions. [/quote]
