Last night I was driving home with my child (13) who stated that she thought she needed help. I asked her why does she think that, she proceeded to tell me she really wants to know what it feels like to stab someone. She said this thought is on her mind quite frequently, and sometimes she even wakes up in the middle of the night thinking about it. When we got home, we continued the conversation and she even said she doesn’t think that “murder is that bad” and often imagines stabbing the kids at school that piss her off. This scared the shit out of me as she has pulled a knife on me before but she said her intentions were not to harm me, but to harm herself which she has done before but has been clean for about 5 months. I will be making a doctors appointment tomorrow for her, so she can hopefully see someone who can help her with this, she has seen a psychologist in the past, but it doesn’t seem to have done her any good. I have hidden all the knives, screwdrivers and anything she could hurt any one with, but I’m afraid of her. I don’t have a lock on my door, but I wedge a door stopper under my door when I sleep, just incase. I know she’s capable of empathy, I’ve seen it. She’s never hurt any animals and cried for days when her little dog she had passed away from cancer about a month ago. I’ve seen her cry at movies, sad songs. So I think she’s capable of caring for others. I don’t understand if it’s desensitisation of violent acts or if she’s actually a psychopath. I feel so alone, with this, I don’t know if any other parents that have had this issue. I really would appreciate any advice.Thank you. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2qFMRTE
