Q:
I believe my daughter is emotionally battered. Should I get professional help for my daughter?
My husband violently curses at my 13 year old daughter for the slightest things. She doesn't curse, but every-time he curses at her, she looks like she can kill. She has taken a habit of cutting her wrists and I found the bathroom flooded the other day with blood. She says it wasn't hers and showed me three gruesome bloodied up roosters she was clutching behind her back. And she was smiling. She locks up in her room during meal times and seems isolated from the family. When she went for violin lessons, i took the chance to enter her room and do some "tidying up". I found metallica cds, wall graffiti, and on the mirror were some signs that were written with what i really hope was just reddish brown paint. She had morbid and ancient-like books cluttered everywhere and she tore down all of her prized anime posters. Her grades have dropped significantly: from A's to C's and even D's. Her sense of humor is gone, and i feel so is her sense of humanity. She won’t open up to me and only talks to Sparky, the family dog. She's not using drugs or is into any vice, and she has been a Christian for 3 years now (the whole family is Catholic). I'm worried for her future. What should i do?Question asked after reading: http://www.education.com/magazine/article/cutti...
