[QUOTE="bran155, post: 246532"] My daughter is another "rager" as well. Over the years it has been absolute hell around here. She will fly into a rage over the smallest thing, she becomes uncontrollable, so angry and violent. We have had to call the police many, many times to come and calm her down. Quite a few times the cops have walked in my house to see my husband holding my daughter in a restraint waiting for relief. On occasion they were able to calm her down, however most of the time it was a trip to the hospital. I have been very lucky. The police here have always been very empathetic and kind. I have never had a problem with them. I was terrified to call them at first. I thought they would never believe that my daughter was the abuser. I figured they would blame us, but they never did. The only thing that I have found to work with the rages is to ignore it. I would stay close enough to watch her to make sure she isn't hurting herself, but not say anything to her. I just let her rant and rave. I have found that the less I say or do while she is raging the quicker it is over. I let her calm down on her own. Don't get me wrong that is NOT easy to do. There have been plenty of times that I did engage. The hardest part for me was when she was done raging it was over for her. She was able to adjust her moods drastically. I can't do that. I need time to cool off. Hang in there. :) [/QUOTE]
