[QUOTE="ssb990206, post: 311489, member: 8190"] First I want to thank you for your replies. Now for a little family history. My daughter's father abused drugs while I was pregnant with her. The relationship was very volatile. He was never physically abusive with me, but very verbally and emotionally abusive throughout our marriage. I finally got up the nerve to leave him when my daughter was 2 yrs. old. After divorcing her dad I married my high school sweetheart and he considers both of my daughters his own. I do have an older daughter who is special needs. She is not totally dependent on me, but does require a little extra attention. We also have a son who is almost 3. Summer's father sees her every other weekend if he can manage the time and calls maybe once every two weeks. He has tried to kill himself multiple times and does have problems with anger, which terrifies me that my daughter my carry the same problems. I noticed her behavior changing dramatically about 6 months ago, but when I look back at it, there were other things that I should have picked up on. She had a very bad temper as a toddler. She met all her milestones on time or early. She is extremely smart and loves school. She has been in some trouble at school. Mostly talking and disobeying the teacher. The biggest thing was getting into a fight on the school bus less than a week after school started. She started the fight. She is very manipulative for being only 6. She will tell you exactly what you wanna hear when you ask her why she behaves a certain way. She loves to be involved in sports but gets very upset when she can't do something or thinks she should be able to do it better. There is nothing in paticular that seems to set her off. I have repeatedly talked to her father about this, but he says she doesn't behave this way when she is with him. Which then again he doesn't see her very often and let's her do what she wants to do. I think I've answered most of the questions. Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I have no clue what's going on. Charity [/QUOTE]
