[QUOTE="ksm, post: 465371, member: 12511"] I get those kind of threats from our difficult child often. I don't think she has actually dialed the phone or looked up numbers. But sometimes when we tell her she has to stay in her room til she calms down (and husband stands in the hall so she can't escape) she says she is going to call the police for us restraining her against her will... And when she doesn't like the meal... we are obligated to feed her. I tell her as long as there is bread and peanut butter in the house - they know we aren't starving her. We get that threat when the meal isn't something she likes. Or it is leftovers and she doesn't want it again, even if she likes it. If it gets worse, I will clean out her closet and leave her 7 outfits, 2 pair of shoes and a coat if it is winter. I am so tired of her screaming that we may be her "legal parents" but we will never be her real parents. That we don't deserve to be called grandma and grandpa. I hate those days when she goes there... When we are the reason for every bad thing that has ever happened to her. She forgets all the sacrifices we have made. I guess that means we are "real parents" KS [/QUOTE]
