My 13 year old daughter, who has been struggling with her own health/mental health issues, is always angry and often violent. Is this unusual?

Hi Flora88,
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you are getting on OK, it sounds like you may be dealing with a lot at the moment.
It's a little difficult to advise on your question. In a way you may perhaps know best whether the behaviour is unusual, compared to what is normal for her.
Perhaps she is struggling to understand or express her emotions, either to do with the diagnosis and/or for other reasons. I'm not sure if she is currently receiving support with the issues you mention, but hopefully there is additional help available, to support both her and in turn you.
There are some support links on the children and young people section of this cancer support website, some of which may be helpful for her and/or you. Some also offer free counselling services or advice lines.
I also hope this forum can be of some support to you. Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here soon. We're always here for support whenever you need it.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben
