[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 620982"] She is so uncomfortable in her own skin that she is doing her damnedest to get under your skin.That ole difficult child trick trying to remedy their own misery by making others more miserable. She is poking you all with the proverbial stick trying to get a reaction. Do not react. Do not panic. It's like a toddler tantrum, your only hope is to ignore. Ignore it, ignore HER. Do not engage. She isn't making any sense and you cannot make sense TO her. It's an exercise in futility and it's no longer your job to do it. I know I have been in similar shoes and kept thinking that I needed to get through to my kid and the more he acted out - the more I amped up my own reaction. It never helped - I never got through to him - all I did was break my own heart. {{{hugs}}} dear friend. [/QUOTE]
