[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 571395, member: 15473"] In our case difficult child did run to my father on many occasions when we lived close and he always accepts her without question and never talks to her about the issues. Since we are military sometimes she would just run to them on the phone but still mentally she was escaping her parents and getting the approval of her grandparents. I do realize they are her grandparents and that they don't have to parent. I'm not asking them to come to town to yell at her. I just think that for once they need to sit her down and have a talk about her behavior. They have always seen me as the uncaring evil mother who punishes, what they don't see is the way difficult child treats me and how much worse all of it becomes when they validate her anger at me. What they aren't thinking about is the two girls who were with her and all the kids her actions are now affecting. I realize it was a Christmas gift however she didn't know about it and holding it would not have caused any drama. Honestly I feel like those shoes are the equivalent of giving a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kid a cookie for killing the dog!!! [/QUOTE]
