Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I think you are assessing your daughter correctly. People do have obsessive compulsive behavior like this one. To overcome one deficiency they come across novel ideas to fulfill other desires and often that behavior overwhelms and creates compulsive behavior. Jealousy against her elder brother and dissatisfaction about her life might have triggered this behavior. OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) can be treated with the help of psychotherapy.

Your daughter may need life style changes. First you have to address her anger and errant behavior. Make her feel that she is part of your family and everyone at the family needs her. Then she starts behaving at least positively to any one in the family and that person can convince her.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
