My grandaughter has an anger problem should she get counseling, she is not happy with her mom and step dad?

Question

she is 12 years old and her mom is unconcerned

Answer 1

It should be a concern, children do not get angry for no reason. Not being happy with her Mum and step-dad has set off alarm bells for me.
Questions I need to ask are, Was she happy with Mum and step-dad before all moving into together? When did the anger start?
Are you willing to have her live with you for awhile and see if this helps? Did she and her mother live with you before her Mum and step-dad married? A friend of mine had lived with her Mum, Grandmother and Aunty from birth. When her Mum married she could not live with her Mum and step-dad as she missed her Grandmother, Aunty and her friends too much.
Counselling would be worthwhile in case things are not going good for your grandaughter. If Mum is happy with her life she is not likely to recognise anything else.
Hope all works out.

Answer 2

My neice is 14 and has an anger problem as well. She and her mom and sister are living with my mother, her grandmother. She is disrespectful and yells at them when she doesn't get her way. She is very hurtfull. Sometimes she will get angry for no reason or if anyone does anything to upset her. She only does this at home, when she comes over to my house, I hardley hear anything from her,my other sister says she is the same when she stays at her house. My neice is in counseling right now. Yesterday her mother gave me an update on what the counseler said, he said they wanted to prescribe her Zoloft. he says if this behavior continues, she will end up hurting herself or someone else really bad. None of us like the idea of putting her on medication, but something needs to be done for her to control her anger and attitude toward other people.

I'm not sure if you're daughter is showing the same symptons as my neice, but if so, then I would definately say she needs some kind of counseling. Good luck with this.

Answer 3

She should, of course, get counseling, but I think you should also consider that she may have a valid and terrible reason for being unhappy with her mom (who is unconcerned) and her stepdad, and having an anger problem. Has the possibility of sexual abuse occurred to you?
