[QUOTE="bran155, post: 179601"] I understand all too well, while I do want to keep open communication between my difficult child and I, I dont need to know every single detail. She tells me things that make my skin crawl, inappropriate stuff that I wouldn't tell anyone let alone my own mother!!! They have no boundaries. I sometimes feel she tells me things to upset me purposely. Sometimes I stop her dead in her tracks and tell her I cant bear to hear anymore. Its as though she gets a rise out of shocking me into tears!!! Over the years I have learned to sort of let some things go. Like how you told your daughter it wouldn't be a good idea to go to that club rather than forbid her. I do the same thing because I know telling her no means nothing. We will end up in a huge fight and she will do it anyway. So now I just try to advise her, of course the advise falls on deaf ears. You know that Serenity stuff.....Accept the things you cant change........yada,yada,yada. A lot easier said than done!!! Good luck and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
