Hello!
I am not sure how this forum works. This is the first time I am in here.  I am a mother of a teenage girl. She is the youngest of four siblings. The last two years she has been increasingly angry. She has replaced her friends, she cuts herself and talkes about suicide. Me and my husbond (her father) are very very confused and afraid.

Welcome! If you could please give a little more info as you are comfortable: Is she a minor child? Is she amenable to getting therapy?
In the meantime while she is calmer, I would suggest you approach her to talk a bit more about her suicidal ideations.  Don't worry about " putting ideas into her head" as they are already there .  Here is some reading for you to peruse through .   https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=79032.0
Please write back, we are here for you.
