[QUOTE="bigbear11, post: 536524, member: 15808"] That is the million dollar question. And it is just like a switch for us too. Sometimes, one minute we are fine and then BAM she starts escalating and it can go to violent rage (where she doesn't really even remember everything she did) in less than 5 minutes. It is funny... I do the same as you... really trying to look back to see what is different. The only thing that is consistant for Trex as a trigger is a really major change. Especially both of us being gone. Right know we are having a bad time of things because my husband and I are going on a trip without her. Big Sis is coming to stay so she will have a blast but TRex is still anxious about our going. Things like this is the only "predictor" of rages with her. It is so frustrating. Otherwise it is just like you said... same routine, amount of exercise, diet, etc. One thing that I know is different for us is the way we react to her. We vasilate between "she can't control this" to "she could control alot more than she does". And it really impacts how we parent. Deep down I don't think that there is any way she would behave the way she does if she could help it but sometimes we have a harder time parenting her appropriately. Do you think that how you react to your difficult child plays a role in that "switch getting flipped"? [/QUOTE]
