I could have written the same about my 11yr old DD. Its definately a daily occurance of violence and abuse in our house. DD see's a counsellor and paed but she has known behavioural problems.

My brother who was 4yrs older then me was exactly the same. My mother has been very supportive of our issues with eldest DD as she knows first hand what we are dealing with from past experience. He has grown into a fine gentleman (in his 30's now) Mum said she used to cry herself to sleep and at the time (it stretched on for years) she was sure bro was heading to prison. Things were very bad at one stage and he did grow out of it.
