[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 466702, member: 11235"] I wouldn't go back for another visit. If it's really bothering you then you could send her a letter spelling out why you aren't visiting and under what circumstances you will return. Let her know if she starts the badgering you will immediately end the visit. Of course, if you can't follow through on that don't tell her you will and then when she starts in on you you continue to sit there. With Kat when she turns into a screaming lunatic I literally walk away, drive away, whatever and refuse to talk to her until she had calmed down. I won't answer the phone when she starts calling after I walk away from her. It's not fun, but it does help me maintain what little sanity I have left. I actually feel worse when I take her bait and get involved in long, ridiculous arguments that get completely off track and irrational. But in my experience these kids will keep going with the drama as long as you let them. Literally walking away and not responding seems to work better than anything else in my case. Hang in there, I know this is very hard! [/QUOTE]
