I’m sorry but stealing car keys and locking you out of the house is more than just a “sugar crash.”

This, as is physical intimidation like blocking your path.

Is there another parent in the home or mix, OP?

Any history of mental illness on either side - bipolar, ADHD, for ex., or addiction, alcoholism, frequent job loss?

You should not keep sugary processed food in your home.

Gather information and I'd have her evaluated by a psychiatrist. These extreme behaviors are more than talk therapy. Did you experience DV or abuse as a child yourself such that you have difficulty setting boundaries with her, OP? Did she witness coercive control in the home and is repeating that pattern? What you describe, locking you out of the home, blocking your path, etc. is VERY serious. That you posted, oh, donuts makes me suspect you are in denial, repeating patterns yourself or a troll.

To the extent that this may be a mood disorder, this book by a psychiatrist may be helpful.

To the extent that either of you is recreating trauma, you need a psychologist with DV expertise. She also needs a psych eval, if a boyfriend did the same thing, no one would be trivializing it. Don't enable abuse, OP. Not healthy for you or for her to feel this unnatural power in the home as a teen. If you are not a troll this needs to be addressed with urgency.

How are her relationships with sibs and peers?

I pretty much have to force him to eat anything then he calms down and is remorseful. Just hear to say you’re not alone.
