[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 176488, member: 3444"] My easy child/difficult child 3 has a horrible, horrible temper and it has really peaked this summer with the onset of difficult child 2's issues that are not yet resolved. Part of it is the fact that she is the youngest and she is also just sick of difficult child 2's behavior (get in line, sister) -- but she is scary sometimes when she gets mad. She has some anxiety issues, too. She started wetting the bed again after two years dry and it all coincided with difficult child 1 getting sick with his Crohn's a few years ago. She used to be scared to death of palm trees until she was about 6, too. So psychiatrist thought a low dose of Lexapro might help, and to a certain extent it has, but lately I'm starting to wonder because of the intensity of her anger. She is VERY stubborn, and VERY smart (reading comprehension is about 5 to 6 grades higher). She has a sense of humor like a whip. She is VERY artistic and creative. She is starting to feel like she doesn't fit in at school because she says she is not interested in the typical things her friends are. If she gets too hungry or too tired, her stubbornness and anger are magnified by about 100 and it takes a huge amount of finesse to get her out of her bad mood (husband is much better at this than I am), which can last for the better part of a day, sometimes into the next day. She is the kid who would cut off her nose to spite her face when she gets this way. Can't count how many times she has ruined an evening out at a restaurant or a family activity because she it wasn't where "she" wanted to go. With all the mental health issues in her family tree, I will be surprised if she DOESN'T end up with a diagnosis of her very own :( I know, I know, I need to read The Explosive Child again! [/QUOTE]
