[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 215311, member: 3208"] Yes, MB has it right. I don't think it is going to matter what you do about the heat, her loneliness, her not wanting to do homework, etc. Nothing is right and it is all your fault and you have to do something about it. When you are able to stop taking responsibility and let her fix these things herself (or not) she may change but not before. I would say there has to be a clear message to her that you are not responsible for her misery, only she is. As long as she suspects you feel the tiniest bit guilty she will hone in on that and try to make it all your fault. You will have to be very neutral at all times and very nonchalant even when you are seething or feeling sorry for her, etc. It is so hard--took me forever to learn this with my difficult child 1. Hugs for you--on top of all this you do not feel well--I cannot imagine how you cope! Jane [/QUOTE]
