I know the post I am replaying to is older, but I am having similar issues with my 15 year old daughter and am seeking support. She has days where she is open and sharing, and others when she is down right mean to everyone in our family. It is pretty hard on my 7 year old daughter. Usually I can see past the teen angst and don't let it get to me, but she really got to me last night. And it seems to be getting worse. Her grades have also fallen drastically this year. I'm not even sure where to begin. I have directed, negotiated, backed off, stepped back in. I'm just trying to lead her to make good choices in life. I am going to read through these posts and look into some of the advice. Thank you ... View more
