My daughter is 15. There is a family history of bipolar disorder on the birth family's side. First, I thought her bad behavior was PMS. But, now it just is clearly not related to her cycles. But it does go in cycles. The last few days, she has been so nasty. She has called me a b-i--Â -Â -Â bad word a few times. She has told her brother to F off, only used the words. She has declared again, that she hates her siblings. She has informed me and her dad to not have sex anymore. She tells me she acts this way because she is a spoiled brat and I raised her to be that way, so therefore, I am a bad mother. 2 or 3 years ago, I had her tested for learning disability because she had an auditory processing disorder (which does not cause this type of behavior) and they said they thought she had an emerging mood disorder. She calls her dad a drunk and a loser (my dh does drink, but he is not a drunk, it is just I do not drink at all so next to me, he drinks more than me). She flat out tells me she won't do anything I ask. She is just unreachable when like this.

She is not on drugs. In fact, she is a straight A student. But when she goes in to nasty mode, it is awful. Oh, and she hit her brother. I can tell her she cannot do that, but she actually smirked at me and told me she did it because it is my fault because I am a bad mother and raised her wrong!
Â
Other times, she will be pleasant and kind and nice. But when she is in these modes, no one can handle her or deal with her.
