[QUOTE="Malika, post: 439796, member: 11227"] Hello Mandie and welcome. I can well understand your distress and confusion. I would say you are at the beginning of a journey - a journey that will involve you become wise and knowledgeable and skilful about what is going on with your daughter and how to handle/treat it. Without knowledge and external input, everything seems really overwhelming. You obviously need to have your daughter evaluated and seen by a paediatrician/child psychiatrist/neuro-psychologist - in my view, the more opinions you get, the better - to start to get some understanding of what is going on. I really understand about your daughter being lovely some of the time, and monstrous the rest. My son is like this. I think for some time I didn't really want to acknowledge the monstrous side fully, or was hoping it would go away (or something), and also didn't want to accept there was anything different about him. There was a kind of process of grieving, I suppose, for the son I wanted but was not going to have, and now I am in the phase of having accepted that he does have this difference and that is how it is. It is much less frightening to me now. I also did a lot of reading and researching, and the more I understand, the more equipped and less overwhelmed I fell. Well, it is still difficult, and some days are worse than others, but understanding what is going on at least gives me some clues as to how to handle it... Finally, those carping neighbours - I have those too :) They are just ignorant. [/QUOTE]
