right before she has to go see her dad for any vacation, she starts acting out in rages and says she wants to live with jesus. she's in the third grade. she's seeing a counselor, but she won't open up. i've taken her to MANY. when she comes back she looks "possessed" and rages. just when we think she's going to tell us what is bothering her, she says "she can't remember".
tonight she wanted to go to heaven and i asked how she was going to get there. she said with something sharp like some knives.
i posted this earlier and had completely forgotten that she was going to see her dad in a few days.
i looked up bi-polar..... she's not. she's seen to many counselors, they would have picked up on it. besides, she doesn't fit the description.
has anyone else experienced this?

Maybe her father abuses her, either verbally, physically, or sexual? I hope this helps and I hope everything works out!

Have you considered that her father might be abusing her in some way? I know it's a terrible thing to even consider, but when a child starts to act out in the mere anticipation of seeing a person, that's often a very clear signal that the person they are about to go see is someone who has hurt them in some way.
Your daughter's comments about wanting to go live with Jesus would not be at all unusual for a child who is being abused. Nor would her acting out. Please look into this carefully and think twice and three times before sending her back to visit her dad.

She could be picking this behavior up from someone else at school. But it sounds more likely that she is being abused. She says she "can't rememerber" - that sounds bad, for one thing. Anyone at the other household could be abusing her, too. I would have a child psychologist talk to her, instead of a counselor. If she is suicidal - this is very serious and if it is related to something bad that happens at her father's house - it needs to be figured out and she needs to be protected.

If you're really worried, you should talk to your daughter. I've heard many problems like that. You can solve this problem if you will observe her. Maybe, she have problems in school, friends or even in your family. You can talk with your husband and try to solve the problem.
