[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 222901, member: 4040"] I'm so sorry, JLady. Miss KT's useless father does similar things, and has forever, and it makes me so angry I could just spit. The broken promises, the non-visits...anyway...she would be even more awful after a visit as well. What worked for me was isolating her from anyone she could be rude to. If we were out somewhere, I would say, "I apologize for my daughter's rudeness. We will be going home now." And we left. We left restaurants, church, friend's homes, and once I carried her out of Target while she was in the middle of a full-blown fit. At home, I sent her to her room, and told her I didn't want to talk to her until she could be civil. She was (and is) hard to ignore, but I did my best until her words and her tone improved. It wasn't easy, and there were times I wanted to skin her alive and then die of embarrassment myself. Good luck...sending you some peaceful quiet and good thoughts. [/QUOTE]
