That all sounds very difficult to cope with.
The picture you paint of your daughter is kinda contradictory though - on the one hand she's rude to teachers and getting into fights, and on the other she has severe social anxiety and selective mutism. Did the anxiety problems only start after you took her out of school?
A lot of the problems my daughter had at school related to her anxiety. She was familiar with her teachers, so she could talk to them and be rude to them at times, obviously. It's only those she doesn't know very well that she refuses to talk to. And as for the fighting... that was with a girl who was being a bitch to my daughter. My daughter decided she wasn't going to put up with her shit and started fighting her. The fights were always with the same girl.
My daughter's anxiety doesn't stop her from fighting when she feels like it.
If killing people is the only thing you've ever really wanted, yet you haven't done it, you must be being modest when you say you have issues with impulse control. I have quite good self-control, but if there was only one thing I'd ever wanted badly I think I would have done it by now whatever the consequences. Where do you think this urge to kill comes from? Anger? What do you do to control these impulses?
I've acted on impulse in the past a number of times. I have some impulse control issues that I've been dealing with for a long time now and I deal with them by avoiding the situations where I know that I will act impulsively again. In most situations I seem to have a lot of self control, but there are some (particularly those where I have physical control over someone else, in an S&M situation for example) where temptation gets the better of me.
My urges don't stem from anger. I used to think they stemmed from a desire for power and control and while that may be part of it, I've since realized that they mainly stem from a desire for excitement. Murder is extremely risky. The greater the risk, the greater the thrill and that thrill is something I feel an almost constant craving for.
