Sadly, disorder breeds disorder. I commend you on being aware enough to at least recognize that it's a problem. My parents "walked on egg shells" around me, threatened to send me to the doctor, but ultimately could not handle thinking that i was anything but perfect. They tried so hard to socialize me, to get me to empathize, ect, and they just did not understand how i really am.. until now.. until it was too late.
So, yes, i am quite delightful aren't i.. but in all seriousness, i am trying to help. Just, keep an open mind. Remember what i said.

I don't know what to do any more. That's why I am asking for help. I had a child. I raised my child. I wondered why she came out of school at the age of 6 crying, every day. They complained about her behavior even in preschool. She was always strong willed, defiant. At an early age she would rage with a temper if I asked her to brush her teeth!! We went for a walk once and I refused to buy her a can of coke at the store, at which she let rip with her temper, and acted as though I was denying her a basic human right. All this time I was thinking 'this isn't 'normal' Her responses to things were always WAY extreme. You have to understand its only VERY recently that we have begun to relaize that she has an underlying mental health issue, and that is what is causing her extreme reactions to things, as well as other behaviors that are causing her issues in her life. I'm on here because I want help and advice. I've felt like a crap parent for years and years. When I had her I wanted her to have everything in life I could give her. What I have is world war 3 in my house almost every day, sometimes from absolutely nothing! You have to understand, I am at my wits end. I'm trying. That's why I am on here and going to a support group. I need advice and opinions. And saying to me 'just have her whatever you said' is just rude and not helpful at all. So I'm willing to listen if you can tell em anything I can do to change my behavior to help her, because as of right now, she's not going to be happy and successful in her life unless I can help her. She's going to lose jobs and friends and I'm going to cry for her. That's what I am trying to avoid!
