Adolescent daughter moodswings

My oldest daughter has become extremely volatile. Her outbursts have become abusive both violently and verbally, If you refuse to do something for her. For example, I (her mum) wasn’t well a couple of weeks ago, and Abigail wanted me to dye her eyebrows. When I said no, I’m going to bed as I don’t feel well, Abigail began swearing at me, throwing liquids over me, turning the light on in my bedroom. When her younger sisters came down to see what all the noise was about, Abigail lashed out at them too, culminating with her throwing a chair at me and her younger sister. There have been several incidents like this.my husband works away midweek, so I’m on my own to deal with this

I’ve contacted the school, who said to contact the DR, who hasn’t responded at all. (We have to fill a form in online, and the surgery choose who to get back to).

I’m at my wits end, and I’m desperate to remedy this. Advice on what to do would be great.

Ps saying no to her doesn’t work-she destroy anything she can get her hands on.

Hello Mumof_3girls , Sorry to hear things are so hard in your house at the moment.

How old is your oldest daughter? If she is over 11 years, she may find it helpful to contact Chat Health 07480 635060, she will be able to chat anonymously to a member of the 0-19 team.

Please also continue to try and get hold of your GP, or 111 who can arrange for your daughter to be reviewed if needed.

What is her sleep like?

I hope you are feeling better now. Please call 0300 300 0123 to speak with a school nurse for further support if needed.

Hi, How have things been going did you find anywhere that was helpful support wise? I have some different difficulties with my teens but I’ve got advice recently from Young minds who have a helpline and website: youngminds.org.uk they have different sections on various difficulties including helping with anger. I always thought having little ones was difficult but honestly the teens years are differently difficult aren’t they?! With my daughter they can get so frustrated and I’ve spent time trying to work out what is causing the problem so I can try and prevent it in the first place. Tbh it’s not always easy and I’ve had to learn the things that help calm them ( again really difficult too!)
