T, I've wrote you an email about what a terrible day I've had and how utterly dejected and hopeless I feel, but I decided not to send it because I want to try and handle it myself.
My daughter has just been out of control today, she doesn't seem to care about the rules or the family and I feel weak and hopeless. She's six years old, how pathetic a parent am I? When she doesn't get her way she gets so angry and she tells me she doesn't love me and she hits herself, I just don't know where all this anger is coming from. What are we doing wrong? Today she said "I'll just kill myself then." Where does a six year old get an idea like that? It hurts so much.
She's a happy, well adjusted child at school and the teachers love her. She's bright and popular. Why does she behave this way at home?
