I have been having so many problems with my daughter (6) that I am beginning to feel like I have failed as a mother. I wanted to belive that she would been a good girl her whole life. I knew that there would be hard points but she has become terrible. I feel she has real issues going on inside of her. all she does is screem and yell and try to hurt herself when she gets upset. She pulls her hair, hits her legs or now she has started to try and scratch her face.I have been through the fits here and there. But this is way more than small "regular" tantrums. All she does is talk back to me. I try to be calm and ask her to do things like pick up her messes, get ready for bed and all those things that I have to do on a daily basis. She freeks out!! screams that she hates me and I'm mean. I found a picture she drew and its of a face with angry eyes and under it it says "fat as" and i have found other pictures that say i hate you and your mean. i am stumped as i wait for an appointment with a psycologist i don't know how to deal with her. This little girl that I have is not my little girl, my little girl seems to be lost. I don't know what happend to her but something has gone wrong. I need help to help her come back to me. I have to deal with the little monster that was left behind. I know that this has to be my fault. there is no one to blame but me. She is my responsibility and always will be. I never thought that things could get this bad. The look in her eyes, it isn't her. I want my little girl back. I miss her hugs, her sweet kisses on my cheek, her cute giggle. Most of all she was that part of good in me that kept me going. All the crap I have to deal with was worth it , but now its hard to see why.
I hope the therapist can help you and your little girl. Reading your post my heart aches for you. Please do not blame yourself, you are doing all you can. Trying to figure out what is wrong now while your daughter is young is the only thing and the best thing you can do. If you do not get the answers then keep trying, do not ever give up! hang in there, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter. Prayer can help you through some emotional times in life, trust God have faith, things will get better.![]()
