[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 549959, member: 6546"] Yep. It may be narcissism. I also find that it plays into her whole "sob story"... "[I]I'm a naturally-gifted musical prodigy and my mean ol' parents don't support my dreams of being a star...." [/I]I'm tired of being cast as the mean, abusive, uncaring parent. Unfortunately, if I run interference for difficult child in this situation - it just becomes "proof" of how negative and unsupportive I am. on the other hand, on some level, difficult child may be [I]counting[/I] on me going to the teacher. It gives her an "out" while simultaneasly playing into the "poor me" scenario. A Win-Win for difficult child. For now - I am keeping my nose out of it. [/QUOTE]
