[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 384261, member: 3704"] MammaB, Welcome to the Board, and while I'm sorry to hear that your daughters' issues have brought you here, this is a good place to be. I know that your daughter's behavior sounds very similar to my easy child's behavior during his teen years. Is it possible that she is experiencing some depression? How are things going at school? It sounds like she is not really enjoying life, as you say. Irritability is often a key sign of depression. Maybe her therapist can work with her regarding her moodiness. I found with my son that sometimes I needed to withdraw and give him some space when his hormones were raging. I know that many times you cannot do that, but it helps to pick and choose those times. A silent presence of a loved one can often help me when I feeling blue. For some reason, this time of year is like that for me - I think that the change of seasons intensifies the problem.
