[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 82038"] Thanks for the support. I agree. She needs to go to Nana's and I need a break. Nana is unavailable for at least 2 weeks. I might not run away before then. [img]:hammer:[/img] My mom isn't crazy about taking difficult child when difficult child doesn't want to go, which I can't blame her. If difficult child doesn't want to do something she'll make sure it's known. But, she will take her. The thing is, difficult child has fun there. My mom takes her to Michaels (difficult child's favorite store) almost every time she has her to get more knitting and craft supplies. My mom waits on her hand and foot (easy child, too). I think difficult child just wants to save all the misery for me. [img]:hypnosis:[/img] difficult child can be so nasty, argumentative and says the cruelest things. Everyone is mean to her, noone likes her and noone has ever had it as bad as her. She screams at me, spews out nastiness and then accuses me of being mean to her. [img]:hammer:[/img] Everything becomes a battle...from schoolwork to taking a shower. Then the next minute, she's sweet as can be. She depends on me too much and it's wearing me down. Yesterday, for example, she said she was hungry. I asked her what she wanted to eat. She didn't know...said we didn't have anything (just because we can't fit anything else into the pantry or fridge....). I threw out some suggestions and she didn't like them. Keeps going on and on about being hungry. I asked her again what she wanted. She said she didn't know and I said, well, neither do I and that she needed to decide or go hungry. Then of course she tells me that I don't care about her, blah, blah, blah. Ugh. Makes me tired. I really thought we were making a lot of good progress. Now we're back to square one. I wish I could make her realize that she's just shooting herself in the foot. [/QUOTE]
