SD14 starts stuff at school then hyperventilates how she's bullied and harassed...

Annanymous's picture

She is so extreme and dramatic. She starts things with people at school and she sends out these texts to multiple kids then she gets all psycho falling in the floor bawling and hyperventilating about how this boy is harassing and bullying her for noooo reason at all and he has all the kids harassing her calling her whore and bitch.

Well, she started it. She texts him. She texts his girlfriend. Then when he said "Fat C*** leave me the f*** alone and stop f***ing texting me" she goes bat shit crazy about see how he abuses her!

It's mind boggling. She texts his girlfriend "Did you talk to your BF yet? Tell him to stop talking about me or I will do something. I know you don't like me. No body likes me. It's okay. I hate me too."

Seriously.

She threw herself in the floor bawling how she can't go to school tomorrow. Gasping and sobbing and please please please. Then she turns and gets aggressive how we are awful to her and 'yeah ok send me and I'll get beaten and harassed thanks". (Can you see my eyes roll with that one??)

She started the whole drama; she perpetuates the drama. She does not see it. She sees herself as this great victim of bullying, harassment, and abuse.

I really do not know what to do at this point. We took the phone and blocked the boy's number.

She says all these kids call her whore and bitch and ugly and harass her. DH said go to school. WTF am I supposed to do when she has a meltdown in the morning and he' off at work? She has skipped TWICE now because of mental health (AKA she started shit at school and couldn't face the music of the repercussions of the kids being pissed). She says if she JUST skips tomorrow it will blow over... and what about NEXT drama, what then? She will have to skip then too huh?

I am trying to be supportive and listen and care, but FFS EVEN DH SAYS SHE BRINGS IT ALL ON HERSELF.

Positive note: I am not stressing out over her stuff any more. With a toddler and being 27 weeks pregnant, I won't allow it to affect me like it used to.

I had to put away the pills again because I know SD14 and she makes sure she PROVES she is mental if we don't believe it "enough".

I am still checking her bags when she comes in and her pockets... the sick thing is she LIKES IT. She grins and smiles and turns out her pockets.

The therapist is trying to say poor dear is just so neglected and starved for love... um no she is BORDERLINE same as her MOTHER! Mother's husband told me and DH she is borderline and not to believe anything BM says! He told us some stuff about her exaggerating and lying and it's just the same as the crap SD14 does.

At least DH sees it very clearly now for one and for second SD14 found someone knew to make her monster (This boy at school and her own BM whom she visited for the first time this month after three years - now BM was mean to her and harassed her all weekend). Whatever, she's not exaggerating or making up stuff about ME now!

She is always designing situations to have to be saved. God help us four more years of high school.

This had been such a good week with her too. She has been kind, loving, helpful, sweet, and down right amazing and fun to be around all week. So, I know she's got emotional/mental problem and am working with the therapist and trying to coparent with DH and support SD14 best I can, but FFS some times I just want to hollar at her "Freaking stop being like that". These texts she sends out "no one likes me, you don't like me, that's ok, I hate me too because I am so ugly and stupid but I won't bother you anymore"... and copies and pastes to multiple kids. They used to flock to her and oooh SD14 we lurv you, but now they reply "k" or not at all or a couple say "STFU FFS I can't make you happy no one can".

Plan for this episode:

1. Take the phone for a couple days - misused by getting psycho with people, but mainly taking it to prevent further escalation and drama.
2. Talk to therapist that she sees weekly about this episode.
3. Set up meeting with school principle and counselor. Her emotional dysregulation is disruptive at school.
4. Continue to "listen" and pat her and let it roll off and no longer try to reason with the irrational.

I feel bad for you! I do. I have worked with kids in the past, yes some of this IS borderline and you are NOT wrong on that, and some of this IS learned from mom if mom does heave that way, and honestly some of this IS typical teen crap now days. That is why they do not typically diagnose younger kids as borderline. Because adults that act this way maybe borderline, but kids that behave this way may just be kids. Do you see what I mean? I am NOT a doctor by the way just worked in schools. I feel that a lot of this is not normal for our generation but some of it is for their peer group. We have seen four 12 year old girls start crap then deny it all and claim bullying and ask to be removed from school (only temporarily) then return and do same old cycle. "I act out with peers then I get negative attention, I get negative attention from my peers then I act out etc" I would never want to be that age again, especially today with texts, facebook etc. Yuck! I would say try to separate the idea that it is coming from mom's genes, focus on the now. If she has a good re pore with therapist great, then keep going if not, find someone she can really open up to AND be held accountable. Some peer mediation may help in the school or changing classes weather she likes it or not. A lot of times kids have these weird alliances where they feed off each other's negative attitudes and actions. I have dealt with breaking up three best friend's in a middle school. All they did was take turns hurting each other and cry about bullying and then do it all over again, and if other kids or boys got in on it it just made everything worse. You seem like you are involved and working hard, just keep it up. You are not alone! So many parents are going through what you are right now, it is just that most do not have a place like this to let it all out or be honest. It must be very difficult for you, but at the same time a lot easier than the bio moms, who have to look their OWN genes and child rearing abilities and skills etc. I am not using that as a put down just stating that I think it is great you work on these things and I think it must be hard. Seek out others who are currently walking in your shoes. While it is terrible those moments, you have no blame etc. Breathe and make time for yourself and seek pro help if need for yourself! I always how wonderful it is to have an hour alone with a pro and educated adult just to talk about you and nothing else. xo

Thank you for this. She threw her fit this morning. She stayed home, again, and gets her way again.

She gets hateful with me and I'm not taking it any more. I told her stay in her room. No phone. Her half-sister was supposed to stay the night but no not with her meltdown and staying home from school.

She going to throw fit any time someone calls her a bitch and well.. she acts crazy and the kids at school tell her she a liar and stfu.

I am NOT home schooling her. Hell no. She can go to alternative school or move to her crazy mom house. She hadn't seen BM in three years before last month.

Gets her way again. I refused to argue or be provoked or answer her snide "questions" . You know "why are you doing this; you nust want me to be bullied" on and on and fucking on. In front of toddler, whom she ignored and didn't even say hi to and he loves the psychopath so much.

I hate being in the house with her.

DH going to need to find a babysitter this soon to be high school girl.

Her friend is bullied too same thing coincidentally. ...and wants home schooled...and SD14 hinted at it. Fuck no.

She had same problem at last school and bawled how awful that school was. Now she bawled to go another school. She so full of shit.

You gotta bring her back into the fold. My DD can get all worked up about social stuff and shes only 8. At this age, family should be her influence. Your SD is still very young and she has put way too much energy into social life. When my DD spends too much time with other kids, she gets really weird. Show her that it is her FAMILY that loves her and will protect her. Show her youre not going to let her stray. I firmly believe children of all ages, whether they realize it or not, yearn for family structure.

Sounds like SD15. She's a mean, vicious bully, but oh so willing to have mommykins and the authorities protect her from anyone who dare fights back.

Sounds about right. She cries hiw she's being bullied all the time. Someone say she a bitch and with good cause after she act psycho lying and manipulations Nd she cry how they bully her and she did nothing wrong. It's frustrating.

I'm sitting at her therapist appointment now since she too delicate to go to school today. Make me sick. She wants to stay hkme so she stays. She wants spend the night tonight so she gets it. Cause she neeeeeeeds to talk to her half-sister toniiiight.

Can no one else see how manipulating she is?????? Christ its sick.
