[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 361578, member: 3419"] Well, since her little brother is giving in to her to keep the peace, that's one sign that the entire family needs therapy. Everyone reacts differently when there is a difficult child around, and giving in to your daughter is adding fuel to the flames. I can't blame him, believe me, I know how much easier it is in the short term. But long-term, it makes it worse. So I'm wondering if you're giving in, too ... she's tall, she looks you in the eye ... Say, for example, she screams at you, then laughs with-her friends a moment later. When she hangs up the phone, what do you do? It's got to be addressed somehow. You've got a serious issue with-your ex horning in on everything. Does she ever stay with-him? Is that what you mean when you say that he claims everything is peachy at their house? It's hard to say what is biologically inherited and what is emulated, but it could be both in this instance. by the way, when you say your daughter is a social butterfly but is rigid, I wonder if she's parroting what her friends are saying or if the words and gestures she's using are really hers. I'm thinking a bit of Asperger's, too. Of course, it could be much more than that ... or Asperger's plus a mood disorder. Until she gets a thorough evaluation, you won't know. I'm sorry you have to wait until fall for an evaluation. I would start reading books like The Defiant Child, by Douglas Riley; Asperger's Syndrome by Tony Attwood; The Bipolar Child, by Demitri and Janice Papolus. [/QUOTE]
