[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 707185, member: 1233"] This all sounds like there is a physical cause to her reactions. Of course her hormones don't help AT ALL. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this. Please know that the calmer you can stay, regardless of how angry/rage-fueled she is, the better it will be. I truly do know how hard that is. My son used to rage at me, sometimes for hours, and I know how hard it is to remain calm and to respond in a calm manner. If you need to take a time out from her in order to remain calm, give yourself permission to do so. It really does make a huge difference. I wonder if maybe she is having mini seizures or something that are triggering the rage? I know that sometimes this can happen after concussions. I have a cousin who had multiple concussions, mostly from doing stupid daredevil boy stunts. He is now at the point where they are predicting a very bad old age for him because of all the brain trauma, and any severe head trauma may kill him. There has simply been way too much trauma to his head (last count that I knew of was 11 concussions, four of them very very severe, taking months to years to heal completely). His last concussion triggered seizures that only showed up as attacks of severe, out of character rage. He knew something was really really wrong because he just doesn't get angry like that over basically nothing.
